Indonesia's local mining industry faces monthly loss of US$164m

New ruling on mineral ore exports on top of a 20% tax has led to severe declines in the industry.

The IDR continues to be revived as the BI Governor Nasution reported the central bank's moves to buy government bonds in the secondary market and issue US dollar term deposits.

Here's more from OCBC's Daily Treasury Outlook:

BI Governor Nasution said that the central bank will add US dollar supply in the market to help stabilize the IDR. He indicated that the central bank will continue to buy IDR government bonds in the secondary market and issue US dollar term deposits as well. He noted that Indonesia’s exposure to the Eurozone is relatively small.

Meanwhile, a local mining industry group said that the government’s new ruling on mineral ore exports, including a 20% tax imposed, has hurt the industry significantly and might have led to an average US$ 164mn loss per month.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
