【SMM Flash News】Indonesia Set to Decide on Coal Export Tax and RKAB Production Hike Tomorrow
Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa confirmed on Wednesday (March 25) that the government will finalize the specific tariff for a coal export tax and revised 2026 RKAB production targets during a high-level meeting tomorrow, March 26. President Prabowo Subianto has already indicated a specific "target figure" for the tax to capture windfall profits as global coal prices soar above US$135 per ton. Minister Purbaya noted that the government will prioritize fiscal impact over corporate resistance, as coal hits US$135/t. Minister Airlangga confirmed 2026 RKAB production hikes to offset global energy risks, while President Prabowo ordered an immediate shift from diesel (PLTD) to solar energy to counter crude prices breaching US$100/bbl.
