Net Profits Contributed by Freeport to Indonesia Reach Rp75 Trillion
PT Freeport Indonesia has once again deposited a portion of the company’s net profits to the central and regional governments amounting to Rp4.8 trillion on 8 April 2026. With this addition, the company’s total contribution to the state throughout 2025 reaches Rp75 trillion.
PTFI President Director Tony Wenas stated that this figure already includes dividends to MIND ID as the government shareholder amounting to Rp16.9 trillion.
In addition, local governments received a total of Rp13.48 trillion. This amount consists of Rp10.6 trillion paid in 2025 and Rp2.88 trillion from the distribution of the company’s current-year net profits.
“The company always prioritises transparency and accountability in fulfilling its obligations to the state and regions, with the hope that it can be utilised to the maximum for the interests of the people in their respective areas,” said Tony on Friday (8/5/2026), as quoted from detikcom.
From the total distribution of Rp4.8 trillion, the central government receives Rp1.92 trillion or 4 percent. Meanwhile, Central Papua receives Rp720.5 billion and Mimika Regency receives Rp1.2 trillion.
PTFI also channels profit-sharing funds to seven other regencies in Central Papua, namely Nabire Regency, Paniai Regency, Puncak Regency, Puncak Jaya Regency, Dogiyai Regency, Deiyai Regency, and Intan Jaya Regency. Each region receives Rp137.2 billion, with a total overall of Rp960.4 billion.
Tony revealed that PTFI’s operations are still in the recovery phase following the incident at the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine. The company’s production is said to have only reached about 40 to 50 percent of normal capacity.
“Currently, PTFI’s operations are still in the recovery phase after the Grasberg Block Cave (GBC) underground mine incident, with production levels only reaching around 40 to 50 percent. The company targets returning to full capacity in early 2028,” said Tony.
In addition to deposits to the state, PTFI claims to continue implementing social programmes for communities around the mining area. Throughout 2025, the company’s social investment value reached Rp2 trillion.
The company also commits to allocating around US$100 million or equivalent to Rp1.7 trillion per year until 2041 for community development programmes.
“PTFI’s success as a company is when the communities around the operational area also improve their standard of living and welfare. We believe there is no successful company amidst a failed society. Therefore, we will continue to grow and develop together with the community until the end of mining operations,” said Tony.
