Jakarta. Prabowo Subianto, the President, shifts plans. He seeks fresh funds for the state. He targets cash from minerals and coal. The new plan adds to state revenue.
One warm Thursday, Prabowo met at the Palace with trusted aides. Energy Minister Bahlil, Finance Minister Mulyani, and Economic Minister Airlangga gathered there. Prabowo set the meeting’s aim: to redraw rules and lift fees on gold, nickel, coal, and other minerals. The goal is a tighter government budget.
Bahlil then spoke in clear terms. He explained that the group set out new ways to raise money. The plan raises fees on most metals from deep earth. Coal joins in the change. The team even eyes lesser-used minerals. Gold that still waits under the soil might soon find a new role.
Bahlil now refines a key rule. He works on Government Regulation Number 15 from 2022. The rule spans fees on non-tax income from coal mining. His team nears final changes. Soon, the fee system will cover both raw materials and finished goods. The new rule aims to boost the value of the processing stage.
Indonesia may soon see a shift in its natural cash. If the plan works out, state funds might grow from these deep finds. Watch the updates closely; these shifts could change how the nation earns from its rich resources.
