Although electric vehicle (EV) sales are sluggish, the team of Indonesian president-elect Prabowo Subianto has pledged to promote sustainable development in the downstream nickel industry, aiming to drive the country's economic growth and contribute to achieving an 8% GDP growth rate.
Indonesia supplies over half of the world's nickel products
Eddy Soeparno, the deputy chairman of Prabowo's campaign team, stated on the 30th that the downstream mineral industry, including nickel, adds value and can drive energy transition through the electric vehicle ecosystem.
