In 2010, investment increased drastically to $3.186 billion from the 2009 figure of $1.81
billion. In 2011, investment realization in mining sector reached $3.6 billion. The
government estimates that investment in 2012 will increase significantly supported by
greater certainty after the GOI issued new mining regulations. The government had
issued several regulations attached to the new mining law in 2010. The implementation
regulations, covering mining areas, coal and mineral businesses, mining supervision,
reclamation and post mining issues, are expected to provide legal certainty and increase
investors’ confidence in developing their mining projects.
The value of imported mining equipment was estimated $1,167 million in 2011. U.S.
suppliers held 30 percent of the total market share. Other major suppliers for mining
equipment are Japan, Korea, China, Germany, Australia, Italy, and Sweden. Indonesia
mining industry is predicted to increase by an average growth of 11.2% until 2015.
