The Indonesian government further strengthened natural resource export controls. Starting from June 1, exports of three categories of strategic resource commodities—palm oil, coal, and ferroalloys—will be managed uniformly through a government-designated state-owned enterprise. Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga stated at a press conference held on May 31 that the government established PT Indonesia Danantara Resources as the sole exporter of strategic natural resource commodities, aiming to strengthen national export supervision and governance through a "single window" mechanism.
