    Indonesia has granted export permits to 29 coal miners since last Wednesday when it partially lifted an export ban that had been in place since the start of the year, said a trade ministry representative.


    The miners had fully fulfilled their obligation to allocate a quarter of their coal production to the domestic market last year, the ministry’s director for foreign trade, Indrasaei Wisnu Wardana, said at a trade conference on Tuesday.

    As many as 48 coal vessels had so far left the country over the past week, he added.

    Also speaking the event, the country’s minister of trade, Muhammad Lutfi, said further export permits would be allocated.

    “Basically, once miners fulfil their domestic market obligation, they will be allowed to export,” he said.

    Some of the country’s largest producers – such as Adaro Indonesia, Kideco Jaya Agung, Bukit Asam and Bayan Resources – are among those to have already received permission to export, according to a ministry press release.

    The sudden halt to exports from the world’s No. 1 thermal coal exporter struck at a time of already tight global supply and strong demand, causing seaborn prices to spike.

    The Pacific-basin benchmark Global Coal Newcastle Index was pegged last at USD 236/t, up from USD 175/t at the beginning of the month and the highest since October.

    Kod brodara ni ne može biti fizičkih futuresa, ako se ne varam pa ne znam zašto si to naglasio.

    Ispravi me ako griješim.

    Ne znam kako za pšenicu, ali recimo za energiju bi se to zvao forward ugovor, a ne futures. Futures je isključivo financijska namira.

    Pričam o energiji, ne znam može li se preslikati na sve ostalo...

    Indonesia has lifted a ban on thermal coal exports, imposed since the start of the year, with immediate effect for exporters meeting certain stringent conditions, a senior minister said on Thursday.


    Coordinating minister for maritime and investment, Luhut Binsar Panjaitan, told reporters in Jakarta that state-run utility Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) now had sufficient inventories, of between 15-20 days, at the country’s coal-fired plants.

    “Thirty-seven vessels that have been loaded as of 12 January… will be released for export,” he said.

    He added miners would be permitted to export coal on condition they had fulfilled their domestic supply obligations for 2021, namely allocating 25% of their full-year output to the domestic market.

    The prior ban on shipments from the world’s largest thermal coal exporter exacerbated concerns of an already tight seaborne market, particularly in the Pacific basin, where the benchmark Global Coal Newcastle index was last pegged at USD 215.43/t, up 17.4% on the week.

    Indonesia has set a coal export target of 497.2m tonnes for 2022, more than 14% higher than realised shipments in 2021, the country’s energy minister said on Wednesday.


    The world’s largest thermal coal exporter had also set a coal production target of 663m tonnes this year, nearly 8% higher than realised 2021 production, Arifin Tasrif said at a press conference in Jakarta.

    Coal exports last year, of 435m tonnes, were 11% lower than the government target of 487.5m tonnes, while production – at 614m tonnes – fell 2% short of the 625m tonne target, as heavy rains hampered production in the fourth quarter, he said.

    “We aim to raise our coal production in 2022 to 663m tonnes, with domestic consumption set at 165.7m tonnes. Hopefully, this pandemic will be settled soon,” he said.

    Export ban

    Indonesia imposed a ban on exports from the start of the year – in order to replenish domestic stocks – which might be at least partially lifted later today, the minister said.

    “The lifting of the ban is pending an assurance from [state-owned utility] PLN that its coal stocks are considered adequate.”

    The ban on shipments exacerbated concerns of an already tight seaborne market, particularly in the Pacific basin, where the benchmark Global Coal Newcastle index was last pegged at USD 216.17/t, up 20% on the week.

    Pogledaj procijepljenost u Danskoj. Valjda su i bebe cijepili - 209 doza na 100 ljudi.

    A što je s prijašnjim varijatama, tipa delta? Ona nije probijala toliko zaštitu cijepljenih? Ili je tada manje bilo cijepljenih pa i manje zaraženih cijepljenih? Baš zanimljiva korelacija.

    Sva su ova promatranja promašaj jer je dovoljno pogledati broj smrti u procijepljenim (ili prokuženim) zemljama s istim brojem u slabo cijepljenjim zemljama, a to je na kraju krajeva, najbitnije.
