Indonesia finance, asset recovery, and reform

Entities: Indonesia · Nasyirul Falah Amru · Commission III of the DPR RI · Habiburokhman · Asset Seizure Bill (RUU Perampasan Aset)

Overview

In late May 2026 Indonesia’s sovereign finance authority launched the ST016 sukuk series, followed by a multi‑tranche Sharia auction that raised roughly Rp12 trillion. June saw the Attorney General transfer more than Rp1 trillion of recovered state assets to the Finance Ministry, and the Finance Ministry begin a phased return of about Rp300 trillion of surplus‑budget (SAL) funds to Bank Indonesia, while also placing up to Rp400 trillion in Himbara banks to support liquidity. The Corruption Eradication Commission handed Rp153.6 billion to TASPEN for accident compensation, and the draft Asset Seizure Law remained a 2026 legislative priority, with Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka urging swift discussion.

July‑August activity focused on the pending Asset Seizure/Forfeiture legislation. The DPR confirmed the bill stays on the 2026 Prolegnas list, refuting claims of rejection, and Commission III continued public consultations, including field visits to Kalimantan, Maluku and Papua. Lawmakers debated renaming the draft to “Asset Recovery,” adding due‑process safeguards, and proposing a pra‑judicial testing mechanism to protect third‑party rights. Justice Minister Supratman Andi Agatas announced a target to finalize the bill within the year and unveiled a victim‑support programme for sexual‑violence and trafficking cases.

Separately, the 2026 budget law allowed up to Rp100 trillion of SAL to be placed in Himbara banks without parliamentary approval, yet the government injected as much as Rp400 trillion to spur UMKM credit. Despite the liquidity boost, UMKM lending showed only modest growth, prompting calls for structural reforms and digitalisation. Overall, the period reflects coordinated efforts to expand sharia financing, recover and redeploy assets, manage surplus funds, and advance anti‑corruption and legal reforms.
