[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] Indonesian Minister: Major Stainless Steel Smelter Skipped Mandatory Reports for 8 Years
According to SMM, Indonesian Investment Minister Rosan Perkasa Roeslani revealed during a hearing with House Commission XII that a major stainless steel smelter in Indonesia, which has been commercially operational since 2017, has failed to submit its mandatory LKPM (Investment Activity Report) for 8 consecutive years. Implications: The LKPM is a legally required quarterly report covering investment realization, labor, production data, and partnerships. Due to this non-compliance, the Indonesian government admits it lacks official data on the smelter's actual investment realization, forcing regulators to rely solely on "incidental supervision" to gather information.
