ELUCIDATION UPON THE BANK INDONESIA REGULATION
No. 13/20/PBI/2011
ON
INCOME OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE DERIVED FROM EXPORT AND WITHDRAWAL OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE OF FOREIGN DEBT

I. GENERAL

Foreign exchange supply in the domestic market is currently largely derived from foreign funds in the form of portfolio investments which are susceptible to risk of reversal (sudden capital reversal). Meanwhile, the national economic development requires adequate and sustainable funding. One of the stable (sustainable) sources for supply of foreign exchange is derived from DHE and DULN which are also important to support the stability of the rupiah and overall macroeconomic.

In practice not all of DHE and DULN are placed in Indonesian banks. Therefore, an arrangement is necessary to ensure DHE receipts and DULN withdrawals be conducted through Indonesian banking.

These settings are still based on the prevailing system of free foreign exchange during this time, where every resident can freely hold and use foreign exchange as stipulated in Law No. 24 of 1999 on Foreign Exchange Traffic and Exchange Rate System.

In order to support the policy of income of foreign exchange derived from export, Bank Indonesia, Ministry of Finance, and the Central Bureau of Statistics has made a Memorandum of Understanding on Exchange of Data Related to Export and Import Activities.

The ULN is used to refinance previous outstanding ULN recorded at USD20, 000,000.00 (twenty million U.S. dollars) received from a creditor GHI Bank in Singapore and the difference of USD10, 000,000.00 (ten million U.S. dollars) is used for additional working capital.
