Holes in Indonesia's mining law
Several interesting issues to discuss. Not that anyone ever does in this section!!
1. In SHARE terms, Indonesia continues to decline, losing out in particular to Chile, which has a more accomodating FDI regimen.
2. Don't be mislead by the figures for "New" investment. Most of it is either upgrading of existing mines or MNC's cashing out to the Chinese/Indians.
3. Strategic geo-political issues overlap. The Chinese/Indians are not philanthrpopists so perhaps GOI needs to consider the longer-term consequences of a shift in alliances?
