Improvements in gold governance have already been implemented, one of\nwhich is through the use of applications such as e-PNBP. With this\nsystem, activities that do not comply with regulations cannot enter the\nofficial system,\u201d stated the Director General of Minerals and Coal at\nthe Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Tri Winarno, in a\nstatement received in Jakarta on Friday.<\/p>\n
Tri Winarno noted that the use of digital systems like e-PNBP serves\nas an instrument to ensure that mining activities recorded within the\nofficial system are properly documented. In addition to strengthening\noversight systems, mining governance also involves the state\u2019s role in\nmanaging mineral resources through state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the\nmining sector.<\/p>\n
The Executive Director of the Centre of Reform on Economics (CORE)\nIndonesia, Mohammad Faisal, believes that strengthening the role of\nSOEs, such as MIND ID, can increase the mining sector\u2019s contribution to\nstate revenue. \u201cAs an agent of development, MIND ID acts as an extension\nof the state in the mining sector, ensuring that the economic value of\nnatural resource management provides greater benefits to the country,\u201d\nsaid Faisal.<\/p>\n
Through integrated management under the MIND ID holding company,\nmember companies including ANTAM, Bukit Asam, INALUM, Freeport\nIndonesia, PT Timah, and Vale Indonesia are recorded to have contributed\nmore than Rp98 trillion to the state throughout 2022\u20132024 via dividends,\ntaxes, and non-tax state revenue (PNBP).<\/p>\n
On the other hand, mining expert and Advisory Board member of the\nIndonesian Mining Experts Association (Perhapi), Rizal Kasli, warned\nthat mineral wealth is not infinite, and therefore its utilisation must\nbe conducted carefully and in a measurable manner. According to him,\nillegal mining practices remain a major challenge as they not only\ndeplete resources but also cause environmental damage and reduce\npotential state revenue.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to draining mineral resources, illegal mining also\ncauses environmental destruction and financial losses for the state,\u201d\nsaid Rizal.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/government-strengthens-mining-governance-through-digitalisation-1790344690", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
