Indonesia is basically an
inward-looking country,
preoccupied with itself.
Australia is an outward-looking country, on the
lookout for opportunities
outside its borders.
While there are a lot of complementarities, the biggest difference between the two is that …

The economic system and general state of the national economy
Domestic political factors, such as the position of different political parties with regard to foreign investments in general and foreign mining investments in particular
Government priorities and objectives

What may be done to mitigate

MEMR Regulation
No. 7/2012 on Increase of
Added Value
• Enable mining companies to divest in stock market
• Find suitable strategic partners in the longer term
• Negotiate with MEMR deferral of submission date of plan
• Coal and gold mines largely unaffected anyway
Suppliers of products and services to the mining industry ……………..

…remain unaffected by ownership issues and may even benefit from increased valued added in Indonesia

The way forward for IA-CEPA: find common ground for mining in both countries
Both governments
need to be involved actively
A viable agreement
cannot be one-sided what can Australia give in
return
Institutions on both sides must
be involved (ACCI/AusIMM
and KADIN/ PERHAPI/ IMA,
ICMA, IAGI)
Capacity building may facilitate in finding common
ground
Summing up …….
Multi-stakeholder involvement and reciprocity absolute prerequisites
There is room for the minerals sector in IA – CEPA but work needs to be done
IA – CEPA still has a long way to go
