President Prabowo Subianto officially issued a Government Regulation (PP) on May 20, 2026, establishing the Natural Resources Export Management Agency to route all sales of palm oil, coal, and ferroalloys through designated State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) acting as sole exporters. Functioning as a centralized marketing facility to strengthen state oversight, the policy implements a tight two-phase timeline: a transitional first phase from June 1 to August 31, 2026, forcing private exporters to re-route their international sales contracts through the designated SOEs, followed by full implementation on September 1, 2026, where the SOEs will take total, end-to-end control of all commercial contracts, custom clearances, shipments, and payment settlements.

Sources say that Apple's (AAPL.O) first foldable model, the iPhone Ultra, has been delayed from its originally scheduled launch in fall 2026 to early 2027, with the delay primarily due to hinge design and PCB process issues. A technical advisor at Apple's official hotline stated, "We have not yet received any information regarding the release of a foldable product or its launch timing. Media reports or self-media leaks seen online are not necessarily accurate and do not represent Apple's official position. If there had been news from the supply chain a month ago, for example confirming that the model was finalized, then the product would basically be considered confirmed.
