Indonesia's Chief of Staff Dudung Abdurachman Orders Export Governance Reform for Strategic Minerals
Chief of Staff (KSP) Dudung Abdurachman convened a high‑level coordination meeting on 28 July 2026 at the Bina Graha complex in Jakarta to address problems in the export of strategic minerals and rare‑earth elements. The meeting brought together the ministries of Energy and Mineral Resources, Trade, Industry and Finance, Bareskrim Polri, the Prosecutor General’s Office, exporters and other stakeholders. Participants agreed on a more flexible and transparent framework for setting thresholds on rare‑earth content in exports, aiming to remove unnecessary obstacles for businesses.
Dudung sharply criticized certain law‑enforcement officials and TNI personnel for hindering exports without legal justification, warning that such actions damage the investment climate. He framed the reforms as essential to safeguard the national priority program on strategic sectors announced by President Prabowo Subianto. The coordinated effort is intended to streamline export procedures and support Indonesia’s broader economic goals.
