I. Bakgrunnur viðburðarins
Septian Hario Seto, Indonesia's deputy minister of Marine and Investment Affairs, said the government may impose export duties on nickel iron and pig iron in 2022. Seto said that if the nickel price is above $15,000 / ton, a 2 percent tax, or $300 / ton, will be possible and the tax will increase in proportion to the nickel price. The levy is aimed at pushing nickel miners to process their products before shipping them overseas, otherwise Indonesia's nickel reserves would quickly run out. As soon as the news was sent out, lun Nickel 3 pulled up to around $22700 / ton, causing a stir in the market.
Ii. Greining á nikkeljárni og nikkelgrínjárniðnaði í Indónesíu:
1. Framleiðslugreining á nikkeljárni og nikkelgrínjárni í Indónesíu
Samkvæmt Mysteel rannsóknartölfræði, frá og með desember 2021, hefur Indónesía 135 NPI og FENI framleiðslulínur alls. Árið 2021 verður heildarframleiðsla nikkels og járns í Indónesíu um 890.000 tonn af nikkelmálmi, sem er aukning um 45,34%. Árið 2021 mun Indónesía framleiða um 850.000 tonn af miðlungs og hátt nikkel grájárni, með um 49% aukningu á milli ára. Lítið nikkel-grínjárn um 18.000 tonn, sem er um 3% samdráttur milli ára; FENI er um 25.000 tonn, sem er um 2% samdráttur milli ára.
Síðan seinni hluta árs 2021 hefur faraldurinn orðið harðari í Suðaustur-Asíu. Í ágúst hefur Indónesía takmarkað aðgang erlendra starfsmanna. Vegna áhrifa faraldursins var framleiðslu á nikkeljárni framleiðslulínu í Indónesíu frestað aðallega á fjórða ársfjórðungi og 42 nýjum framleiðslulínum verður fjölgað í Indónesíu árið 2021, 8 fleiri en 2020.
2. Greining á nikkel- og járninnflutningi Kína' frá Indónesíu
From January to November 2021, China imported 3.3891 million tons of nickel and iron, with a year-on-year increase of 9.22%. Among them, 2.8464 million tons of nickel and iron were imported from Indonesia, up 15.15% year on year, accounting for about 84% of China's total nickel and iron imports.
3. Mysteel samantekt:
This is not the first time Indonesia has considered imposing a tax on nickel iron and pig iron. On June 22, 2021, the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) government stated that due to the low added value of FENI and NPI products, the government plans to restrict the construction of smelters and FENI and NPI exports, and encourage the construction of first-class smelters such as nickel sulfate or stainless steel plants. At the end of October, Indonesian President Joko Said he planned to ban exports of all raw commodity materials in Indonesia to attract investment in indigenous resource processing, create jobs and add value to products such as nickel ore processing, which could add $35 billion in value.
