Indonesia's Financial Services Authority (OJK) has issued Financial Services Authority Regulation (POJK) No. 10 of 2026 on carbon trading through the carbon exchange, ahead of the launch of the Carbon Unit Registry System (SRUK), the country's national carbon registry.

Agus Firmansyah, Head of the Department of Surveillance and Integrated Financial Services Sector Policy, said the new regulation amends POJK No. 14 of 2023. The revision follows the issuance of Presidential Regulation No. 110 of 2025 on the implementation of carbon economic value instruments and national greenhouse gas emissions control.

"This is part of OJK's policy to support the government's strategic agenda in implementing carbon economic value instruments and controlling national greenhouse gas emissions," Agus said, as quoted in an official statement on July 9.

The new regulation introduces several key changes to carbon trading through the carbon exchange. One of the main provisions requires all tradable carbon units to be registered under the Carbon Unit Registry System (SRUK), replacing the National Registry System for Climate Change Control (SRN PPI). The government is scheduled to officially launch the SRUK on July 9.

The regulation also expands the types of carbon units eligible for trading on the carbon exchange. In addition, OJK has established provisions governing the trading of international carbon units that are not registered under the SRUK.

On the governance side, the regulation requires carbon exchange operators to submit specific reports to the relevant ministries. It also strengthens consumer and public protection principles for all parties participating in carbon trading through the exchange.

During the transition period before the SRUK becomes fully operational, OJK will facilitate the trading of carbon units that remain registered in the electronic system managed by the relevant ministry. This transitional provision will remain in effect for up to three months following the enactment of the regulation on July 6, 2026.
