Indonesia Grants Special Treatment to Four Countries Under DHE SDA Policy

The Indonesian government has decided to grant special treatment to Australia, Canada, China, and the US under its natural resources export proceeds policy (DHE SDA). According to Coordinating Economy Minister Airlangga Hartarto, companies from these countries will be allowed to choose between keeping their export earnings in state-owned banks or private ones.

The special treatment comes with lower rates of 30% for the mandated minimum share and a placement duration of just three months. This is in contrast to other exporters who are required to keep 100% of their earnings in state-owned banks for one full year, as stipulated in Government Regulation No. 2/2026.

The decision was made after a meeting on July 23, and the government has yet to formalize the inclusion of these countries on the special treatment list.

Edi Prio Pambudi, an undersecretary at the Office of the Coordinating Economy Minister, emphasized that companies from the listed countries are subject to this special treatment, not companies exporting to those markets.
