SMM8 30: according to the latest news from Bloomberg, the government has finally decided to speed up the ban on nickel ore exports. (ESDM) Ignasius Jonan, Indonesia's ministry of energy and mineral resources, said nickel ores with a content of less than 1.7 per cent were no longer allowed to be exported from late December 2019. The decision did accelerate, according to the minister of energy and mineral resources, as the government imposed an export ban on exports to take effect in 2022. Jonan explained that the policy was in line with President Joko Widodo's directive on accelerating the downstream of minerals, which was expected to provide greater added value than exports of raw materials alone. Nickel mines, which have long been at more than 1.7 per cent, have not yet been allowed (exported), and the government has allowed (exports) to be below 1.7 per cent since 2017. According to the president's instructions, we will limit the time to the end of December. "
Affected by the news, LME three-month nickel rose sharply, as of 19:55, an increase of 8.14%. But then fell back slightly, as of 19:23 in the evening, Lun Ni at $17480 / ton, up 6.7%, domestic Shanghai Ni night trading rose by the limit.
This evening, the news that "Indonesia's Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources was dismissed" was false. It is understood that the news was announced in August 2016 as "Indonesia's Minister of New Energy and Mineral Resources was sacked because of dual nationality." some of the excerpts from the article are as follows:
According to the British Reuters News Agency, Indonesia's Secretary of State said on the 15th that the country's Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Tahar (Arcandra Tahar), had been removed from office by the President less than a month after it was reported that he had dual Indonesian and US nationality.
It is reported that Pandjaitan (Luhut Pandjaitan) will take up the post of interim energy minister and will remain in the current post of minister of coastal defense. "in order to resolve public doubts about Tahar's nationality, the president has decided to replace Tahar," Secretary of State Platticano (Pratikno) said in an interview. "
It is reported that Indonesia is a country with a Muslim population and does not recognize the dual nationality of adult citizens. Tahar, a former chief executive of an engineering company in Texas, was part of the second cabinet reshuffle of Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Joko Widodo) last month. According to the report, an analysis said that Tahar was removed from office less than three weeks later, which is indeed very embarrassing, and this is also the case for the government. "
According to comparison, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources mentioned in the news is Tahar (Arcandra Tahar), and the current Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia, (ESDM), is Iknadius Zonan Ignasius Jonan.
