That same day, a set of new export controls was unveiled.

Indonesia has implemented new export controls aimed at retaining more foreign exchange earnings within the country. President Prabowo Subianto announced that the nation lost substantial resource wealth due to deceptive trade practices over several decades. The new regulations mandate that foreign exchange from commodity exports, including coal, palm oil, and ferroalloys, must be held in Indonesian banks for a set period. Additionally, producers in these sectors will be required to channel their sales through a newly established state-owned enterprise.
This policy shift aims to bolster Indonesia's financial reserves and gain greater control over its valuable commodity exports, potentially impacting global supply chains and commodity prices.
