        "summary": "The Indonesian government is considering imposing export duties on processed nickel products, particularly nickel pig iron (NPI), to boost state revenues amid global uncertainties, as announced by Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia. This initiative follows directives from President Prabowo Subianto to prioritise national interests in managing strategic natural resources, with ongoing calculations for the appropriate tariff formulation. Additionally, the ministry is contemplating an increase in the Mineral Reference Price (HPM) for nickel to optimise income from the sector.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The Minister of Energy and Mineral\nResources (ESDM), Bahlil Lahadalia, has revealed that the government is\nexamining plans to impose export duties on processed nickel products,\nparticularly nickel pig iron (NPI).<\/p>\n<p>According to Bahlil, this is being done as an effort by the\ngovernment to increase state revenues amid the current global\nuncertainties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause in a situation like this for the country, we must seek many\nalternative sources of income. One of them is by pushing for the\nimposition of export taxes on downstream processing results,\u201d said\nBahlil when met at the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy, quoted on\nMonday (30\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He explained that his side is still conducting calculations and\nstudies regarding the appropriate formulation for implementing export\nduties on NPI products, including the scheme and the tariff rate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are calculating the NPI, a nickel product. We are calculating\nthis, yes. Once again, I am calculating the formulation for imposing\ntaxes on NPI,\u201d stated Bahlil.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Bahlil disclosed a special directive from President\nPrabowo Subianto. Particularly to increase state revenues from the\nnatural resources sector, especially minerals.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bahlil, Prabowo emphasised that national interests\nshould be the top priority in managing natural resources, which are\nstrategic national assets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President instructed me to pay attention to the country\u2019s\ninterests, with priorities above everything else. And we must safeguard\nour natural resources; our natural resources are national assets,\u201d said\nBahlil after a limited meeting with the President in Hambalang, Bogor,\non Wednesday (25\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>In that context, the Ministry of ESDM has been asked to seek new\nsources of revenue that have previously been deemed not to have provided\noptimal portions.<\/p>\n<p>One of the steps being considered is the adjustment of the Mineral\nReference Price (HPM) for nickel commodities, which has the potential to\nincrease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe HPM for nickel will most likely be raised by me,\u201d added\nBahlil.<\/p>",
