Freeport Smelter Delays: Operations Expected to Resume Mid-2025
The delays highlight broader challenges in Indonesia’s effort to increase domestic processing of raw materials. However, the government remains committed to this long-term goal, viewing smelter development as critical to reducing reliance on raw exports and boosting economic value domestically.
Despite setbacks, the temporary export measures have allowed PTFI to sustain operations and maintain its contributions to the state. The incident underscores the complexities of large-scale industrial projects and the importance of contingency plans to ensure resilience in Indonesia’s mining sector. (Uki Ruknuddin)
