The association emphasises the need for long-term contracts, legal certainty, and a stable investment climate to keep Indonesia's mining sector competitive while strengthening governance and state revenue. It calls for a thorough assessment balancing governance, revenue, and sustainability.",
        "content": "<p>Indonesia Mining Association (IMA) has responded to government plans\nto appoint a state-owned enterprise (BUMN) as the sole controller of\nexports of natural resources (SDA), including mineral and coal mining.\nExecutive Director Sari Esayanti said that the mining industry, in\nprinciple, is ready to support various government policies aimed at\nstrengthening governance of the mineral and coal sector. Implementation\nof the policy should consider existing long-term sales agreements that\nhave been agreed. Legal certainty and policy stability are important\nfactors in maintaining market confidence and Indonesia\u2019s competitiveness\nin the global mining industry. \u2018IMA supports government efforts to\nstrengthen governance and boost state revenue from the mining sector.\nHowever, in its implementation, it should continue to consider business\ncertainty, the continuity of long-term contracts, and a competitive\ninvestment climate so that Indonesia\u2019s mining industry remains trusted\nand able to grow sustainably,\u2019 she said. IMA views the idea of\nstrengthening export controls as something that must be studied\nthoroughly, balancing governance strengthening, optimisation of state\nrevenue, and most importantly the sustainability of the mining sector.\nIMA supports stronger oversight and ensuring the utilisation of natural\nresources to provide maximum benefit for the country and people, but we\nhope the policies made remain attractive for the mining industry. \u2018Many\nmining industries, from the outset of investment, already have long-term\ncontracts and their economics have been studied over a long horizon,\u2019\nshe said.<\/p>",
