In Q1 2026, Indonesia's downstream investment hit IDR 147.5 trillion, accounting for 29.6% of total national investment. The Indonesian Mining Association's Secretary General, Tony Wenas, emphasized the need to shift focus towards strengthening the manufacturing sector as a key off-taker.
He noted that the mining industry's obligations for value addition have been completed, and the current challenge is to create a deeper industrial ecosystem. This includes advancing the processing of raw materials into higher-value finished products. Wenas highlighted the importance of fostering industries that convert copper cathodes into wire rods and copper foils, which are critical for national demand.
