# USD/IDR: Indonesia’s export-dollar relief turns on who owns the exporter

> Indonesia added Japan, South Korea and the European Union to the approved partner list for a lighter foreign-currency retention regime for eligible non-oil mining exporters. The article says a separate proposed change to recognize indirect ownership and permanent establishments is not yet in force; under the lighter regime, eligible exporters may face a 30% three-month retention floor instead of the general 100% twelve-month rule.

## Why it matters

Allowing eligible exporters to retain less foreign currency domestically could reduce the supply of export dollars available to Indonesian banks, potentially putting upward pressure on USD/IDR. This is a currency and capital-flow mechanism, with no direct feed-commodity supply change identified.
