Indonesia's coal export duty scheme for 2026 still under discussion

Indonesia has not finalized its new coal export duty scheme for 2026 as scheduled at the start of the new year, as policymakers are still in discussions in the face of strong resistance from coal mining companies. By far, no official implementation date has been confirmed, according to multiple local media reports.

The country's Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa had previously indicated that the levy would be introduced on January 1, 2026, with rates initially proposed at 1-5%, depending on coal prices. The measure was expected to generate up to Rp 20 trillion ($1.19 billion) in additional state revenue, Mysteel Global reported
