Home to the largest nickel reserves of approximately 22 million tons, Indonesia’s government has been focused on leveraging these reserves to attract investments to develop local smelters. As such, the export value of processed nickel contributed significantly to government revenues in 2022, reaching US$30 billion; a huge increase from just US$1 billion in 2015.
Further, nickel is an important component for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, an industry in which Indonesia is aiming to become an EV manufacturing hub—the country is targeting to become one of the top three global producers for EV batteries by 2027.
