Indonesia is planning tighter oversight of commodity exports including coal and
palm oil as the government seeks to curb tax evasion and support the rupiah,
according to people familiar with the matter. The government is considering
creating a new state entity to manage exports and tackle under-invoicing, with
the body expected to operate under sovereign wealth fund Danantara, which
reports directly to President Prabowo Subianto. Details of the plan remain under
discussion and could be announced as early as Wednesday.
