[USPRwire, Wed Jan 21 2015] The export ban on raw minerals will significantl y impact production growth and hamper investment for Indonesia's mining industry. Although there is no imminent sign of the export ban being completely rolled back, we believe ban moderation is on the cards in the coming quarters, due mounting economic headwinds and practical consideration.
With the boom years in commodity prices behind us, we believe more miners in Indonesia will be forced to put the brakes on investment over the coming quarters. The export ban on raw minerals will significantly impact financial growth in Indonesia's mining sector. In January 2014, the government implemented the ban on unprocessed minerals, in order to stimulate smelter construction and increase mineral export value.

Stricter government regulations within the mining sector have arrived at an awkward time for the country. The regulations were implemented following an extended bull run in global commodity prices. Since the regulations were implemented, Indonesia's external position has weakened considerably as prices of key exports such as coal have collapsed. The importance of the mining sector, which accounts for around 12% of Indonesia's GDP and 20% of all foreign direct investment flows, reinforces our conviction that the government will continue to incur significant costs by upholding the ban. We believe that these factors will persuade the government to moderate the ban over the coming quarters.
