Indonesian Coal Output Hits New High for Two Consecutive Years
rnrnIn 2024, Indonesia's coal production reached 836 million tons, a record high. In 2023, production was 775 million tons, also the highest at that time.

Indonesia's Nickel Production Cuts Will Lead to Higher Nickel Prices
The Indonesian Nickel Mining Association (APNI) has spoken out about the government's plan to reduce nickel ore production by evaluating the 2025 Work Plan and Cost Budget (RKAB). The APNI Secretary General said that the production cut will push up global nickel prices. An analysis by Macquarie Group's global nickel analyst indicates that if Indonesia reduces nickel ore production to 150 million tons, global nickel prices will rise from the current US$15,000-16,000 per ton to US$20,000 per ton. In 2024, Indonesia's nickel ore production reached 2.9849 billion tons; in 2023, production was nearly 200 million tons, actually 175.617183 million tons. 20

Indonesia Plans to Ban Influencers from Freely Reviewing Food, Drugs, and Cosmetics
The Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) stated that it is drafting regulations to govern bloggers who review food, drugs, and cosmetics, in response to conflicts among beauty bloggers that have drawn the attention of the Ninth Commission of the House of Representatives. The head of BPOM said that review bloggers will be prohibited from publishing their evaluation results because they are not authorized institutions, and such actions constitute arbitrary judgments. If the review is conducted solely for oneself or one's own community, it is allowed, but the results must not be published; only BPOM has the authority to release such information. They are currently preparing academic justifications as the basis for the regulations, after which public hearings will be held and coordination with existing regulations, including health-related laws and presidential directives, will be carried out.

Indonesia Plans to Reduce Nickel Production This Year
The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources acknowledged that the government is considering a review of the Work Plan and Budget (RKAB) in the nickel industry to strike a balance between industrial demand and the sustainable development of local entrepreneurs. The policy aims to align the RKAB more closely with actual industry needs while giving local businesses opportunities to sell their products, preventing local entrepreneurs from facing difficulties in marketing their goods. Currently, no production cuts have been implemented, but the government will balance corporate RKAB requests with existing industry capacity and pay attention to local entrepreneurs. Additionally, the Director General of Minerals and Coal emphasized that a comprehensive evaluation of RKABs for mining companies, particularly nickel companies, for 2024–2026 will be conducted to avoid overly aggressive nickel production. If companies fail to comply with mine reclamation guarantees, production may be reduced. In 2024, nickel ore production is approximately 215 million tons per year, and production may be lowered in 2025 in response to continuously falling prices.
