Indonesia's Deputy Trade Minister, Dyah Roro Esti, officially opened the 2026 Indonesian Commodity Futures Trading (PBK) in Jakarta on January 2, stressing the importance of maximizing the role of the Indonesian Commodity Futures Trading in supporting national economic growth. In 2025, the sector recorded strong performance with a transaction value of IDR 48,867 trillion, a 49.8% increase year‑on‑year, and a total volume of 14.56 million lots, up 12%. She highlighted the significance of vegetable fats and oils—particularly crude palm oil (CPO)—as Indonesia’s leading export commodity, urging industry players to strengthen transactions through the futures exchange to enhance price discovery and market stability. Roro Esti also encouraged the optimization of trade systems, expansion of futures trading to more top commodities, and broader use of hedging to stabilize domestic markets and increase state revenue. She praised ongoing literacy and education programs, especially as digital financial asset oversight transitions to capital market authorities, but stressed the need for consistent public education to ensure consumer protection and strengthen trust.Source: https://rri.co.id/en/business/2082860/indonesia-launches-2026-commodity-futures-trading (ICE GIACARTA)
