DSI is considered to have the potential to increase the profitability of commodity-based companies listed on the exchange, as profits previously enjoyed by foreign investors will be more fairly reflected in domestic shareholders, he explained.
"The potential for Indonesian companies listed on the exchange will actually be positive. Because profits that were previously taken by their main shareholders, perhaps foreign players, will now be fairly reflected in their shareholders,” Purbaya said during a press conference here on Wednesday.
“If I am not mistaken, their profitability should at least double," he added.
He considers the establishment of the DSI a positive momentum for capital market investors.
"This is positive news for companies listed on the exchange, so profits will soar,” Purbaya noted.
DSI is established based on the government's findings on persistently high levels of under-invoicing and transfer pricing practices in a number of Indonesian export commodities for years.
These practices are considered to impact state revenues from taxes, royalties, and foreign exchange, and even affect the validity of national trade data—a long-standing government concern.
Therefore, Indonesia’s sovereign wealth fund Danantara established DSI as a platform that will monitor the transparency of export transactions, from volume and price to commodity delivery mechanisms.
The government will begin implementing the initial phase of this mechanism from June to December 2026, requiring comprehensive reporting of all natural resource export transactions to DSI.
At this stage, exporting companies are required to report transaction details in advance so the government can evaluate whether the listed prices align with global market indices and are fair prices.
Danantara emphasized that the policy is not intended to hinder trade but rather to create a more open trading system between sellers, buyers, and the government in accordance with international market mechanisms.
Starting in January 2027, the government will implement export transactions through a digital platform prepared by Danantara to increase efficiency and strengthen oversight of national commodity trade.
The government is also providing a transition period and gradual evaluation over the next few months to ensure optimal implementation of the new system without disrupting national export activities.
Through the establishment of DSI, the government expects that trade in Indonesian natural resource commodities will become more transparent, increasing the added value of the national economy and improving its benefits for the welfare of the people.
