Despite its good intentions to curb under-invoicing, the export centralization plan is seen as being rolled out prematurely.

State asset fund Danantara has sought to ease market concerns over the establishment of a new state entity, PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI), insisting that it will not take over commodity export activities or act as the sole intermediary, which could disrupt existing businesses.Danantara COO Dony Oskaria said the entity was established specifically to combat rampant transfer pricing and under-invoicing practices that have long deprived the state of revenue it is rightfully owed.
“We're ensuring that our goal is 'hey, you should sell products at their true price.' That's our real objective, not to take over goods and act as a [sole] middleman that then sells those [commodities to foreign buyers],” Dony said in a podcast broadcast online on Wednesday.
