| 1:45 pm - 2:35 pm | Panel: Capitalising on Opportunities in Indonesia’s Mining Industry Indonesia is blessed with a rich supply of natural resources that affords it a key role in the commodities industry, and has allowed it to develop into a major exporter to its thriving Asian neighbours as well as to the US. In mining, a new law that comes into effect next year, ordering all miners to process raw commodities before export, is likely to make the downstream sector even more attractive to foreign investors. The law aims to boost downstream investment by providing tax incentives and allow maximum ownership to foreign investors. How can investors capitalise on these opportunities? What are the key challenges? What has been done to improve trade links and infrastructure, including systems for extraction and exportation? How should the wealth generated by Indonesia’s mining resources be re-invested?
