Indonesia Receives Windfall from Freeport Worth Rp75 Trillion
PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) has deposited a contribution to the state amounting to Rp75 trillion for the 2025 fiscal year. This deposit is an accumulation of taxes, royalties, and dividends provided to the central government and regional governments.
President Director of PT Freeport Indonesia, Tony Wenas, explained that the amount includes an additional deposit of net profit share amounting to Rp4.8 trillion in April 2026. He emphasised that the company is committed to fulfilling its financial obligations transparently to support national and regional economic development.
“The company always prioritises transparency and accountability in carrying out its obligations to the state and regions, with the hope that it can be utilised to the maximum benefit for the people in their respective areas,” he stated in a written remark, quoted on Friday (8/5/2026).
In the company’s report, the Rp75 trillion deposit includes dividends to MIND ID as the shareholder representing the Indonesian Government amounting to Rp16.9 trillion. On the other hand, the share for regional governments cumulatively reaches Rp13.48 trillion, consisting of payments for 2025 amounting to Rp10.6 trillion and net profit share for the 2025 fiscal year worth Rp2.88 trillion.
Tony explained that the value of the company’s contribution has the potential to continue increasing in line with the trend of relatively high mineral commodity prices in the global market.
“Currently, PTFI’s operations are still in the recovery phase after the Grasberg Block Cave (GBC) underground mine incident, with production levels now reaching around 40 to 50 percent. The company targets to return to full capacity in early 2028,” he said.
The details of the allocation from the net profit share of Rp4.8 trillion are distributed to several parties, where the Central Government receives Rp1.92 trillion or 4%.
For the regional areas, Central Papua Province receives Rp720.5 billion (1.5%), Mimika Regency receives Rp1.2 trillion (2.5%), and seven other regencies in Central Papua Province, namely Nabire, Paniai, Puncak, Puncak Jaya, Dogiyai, Deiyai, and Intan Jaya, each receive Rp137.2 billion.
The company also recorded a substantial social investment value of Rp2 trillion throughout 2025 in the areas around its operational regions.
“The success of PTFI as a company is when the communities around the operational areas also improve their standard of living and welfare. We believe there is no company that succeeds amid a failing society. Therefore, we will continue to grow and develop together with the community until the end of mining operations,” Tony explained.
The company ensures that the social investment programme will continue with an estimated value of around US$100 million or equivalent to Rp1.7 trillion per year until the mining period ends in 2041. Throughout 2025, PTFI reported copper sales volume of 1.2 billion pounds and gold sales of 1.1 million ounces.
