        "summary": "Indonesia's mining sector faces a sharp cut in RKAB 2026 production quotas for coal and nickel, triggering concerns over planning, investment, and employment. Industry leaders warn the policy could disrupt supply chains and financing unless clarified, while officials emphasise the quotas are targeted realignments to balance supply and demand and safeguard state resources.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia \u2014 CNBC Indonesia hosted Mining Forum 2026\nunder the theme \u2018What is the state of Indonesia\u2019s mining industry?\u2019 and\nfeaturing strategic dialogue bringing together regulators, policymakers,\nindustry leaders, and stakeholders. Deputy Chairman for Law and Tax at\nthe Indonesia Mining Association (IMA), Ezra Sibarani, in Mining Forum\n2026 outlined several developments in the domestic mining sector. One\nnotable focus is the trimming of production targets for mineral and coal\ncommodities in RKAB 2026. RKAB 2026 sets coal production target at 600\nmillion tonnes, down from 790 million tonnes in 2025, while nickel\nproduction is targeted at 260-270 million tonnes, well below RKAB 2025\u2019s\n379 million tonnes. The coal production cut has delivered a large shock\nto miners, the scale of which is substantial and with the criteria for\nsetting the quotas not disclosed. Meanwhile, miners have been preparing\ninvestments to maximise production and to fulfill commitments to\ncustomers, so RKAB 2026 is likely to disrupt targets and cause losses.\nIrwandy Arif, Chairman of the Indonesia Mining Institute, said the\nmining industry faces several headwinds, including the RI-US trade\nagreement and EU-related issues concerning critical minerals, the Nickel\nPassport Obligation, a price decline cycle, and abrupt RKAB quota\npolicies that have been influenced by the US-Iran conflict. He assessed\nthat the mining sector faces short- to mid-term pressures, requiring\npolicy measures to push structural strengthening and transparency;\notherwise the sector could move toward a crisis.<\/p>",
