Ecobiz.asia – Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) has issued a new regulation revising the rules governing carbon trading on the country’s carbon exchange, aligning the market with the government’s updated national carbon pricing framework under Presidential Regulation No. 110/2025.
The new regulation, OJK Regulation (POJK) No. 10/2026, amends POJK No. 14/2023 on Carbon Trading Through the Carbon Exchange and came into effect on July 6 after being officially promulgated.
Agus Firmansyah, Head of OJK’s Department of Integrated Financial Services Sector Surveillance and Policy, said the regulation forms part of OJK’s support for the government’s strategy to strengthen carbon pricing instruments and accelerate national greenhouse gas emissions reduction.
“The issuance of POJK No. 10/2026 is part of OJK’s policy to support the government’s strategic agenda in implementing carbon pricing instruments and national greenhouse gas emissions control,” Agus said in a statement on Thursday (July 9, 2026).
He said the regulation was introduced to align carbon exchange rules with Presidential Regulation No. 110/2025, which replaced several provisions under the previous carbon pricing framework established by Presidential Regulation No. 98/2021.
One of the key changes requires all carbon units traded through Indonesia’s licensed carbon exchange to be registered in the newly established Carbon Unit Registry System (SRUK), replacing the previous National Registry System for Climate Change Control (SRN PPI).
The revised regulation also expands the types of carbon units eligible for trading, introduces provisions governing the trading of foreign carbon units that have not yet been registered in SRUK, and requires carbon exchange operators to submit designated reports to relevant government ministries.
In addition, POJK No. 10/2026 incorporates consumer protection requirements applicable to all participants engaged in carbon trading through the exchange, in line with OJK’s financial services regulations.
To facilitate the transition to the new registry system, OJK will continue allowing the trading of carbon units recorded in the electronic systems of relevant ministries until SRUK becomes fully operational. The transitional arrangement will remain in place for up to three months from the regulation’s promulgation.
POJK No. 10/2026 took effect on July 6, 2026. ***
