JAKARTA, RAKYAT NEWS – The giant PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BRI) has pledged its full support for the implementation of Government Regulation (PP) No. 8 of 2025. The new policy mandates natural resource (SDA) exporters to deposit 100% of their Export Proceeds (DHE) in domestic banks for at least 12 months. This move aims to enhance national liquidity, strengthen economic resilience, and reduce reliance on foreign capital.

Agus Noorsanto, Director of Wholesale and Institutional Business at BRI, emphasized the bank’s readiness to support exporters through tailored banking services. “As a state-owned enterprise, BRI is committed to providing the necessary tools to help exporters manage their DHE effectively while contributing to the national economy,” he stated in an official release on Tuesday (11/3).

The regulation is expected to bring significant benefits to Indonesia’s financial system. By requiring exporters to deposit their DHE domestically, the policy will increase foreign currency reserves in local banks, thereby stabilizing the rupiah and boosting the country’s global economic competitiveness.

Additionally, the repatriation of funds previously held overseas is anticipated to support domestic investment and real sector development. This shift will not only improve liquidity but also strengthen Indonesia’s economic foundation by reducing dependency on foreign capital.

To assist exporters in complying with the new regulation, BRI has introduced a suite of specialized banking products and services.

These include **Special DHE Foreign Currency Accounts**, which offer flexibility in managing funds, and **Currency Conversion and Hedging Transactions** to mitigate exchange rate risks.

BRI also provides **DHE-Based Financing Facilities** to ensure exporters have access to liquidity for operational needs, as well as **Trade Finance Facilities** to simplify export-related transactions. Furthermore, the bank’s digital platform, **Qlola by BRI**, enables seamless transactions through a single integrated system.

Agus Noorsanto highlighted the importance of collaboration between the government, exporters, and the banking sector. “Through this synergy, the implementation of PP No. 8 of 2025 can be optimized to deliver positive impacts for the national economy,” he said.

The regulation marks a significant step in strengthening Indonesia’s economic framework, with BRI playing a key role in ensuring its success. By offering comprehensive banking solutions, BRI aims to empower exporters while contributing to the nation’s financial stability and growth. (Uki Ruknuddin)
