INDONESIA RAISES COAL BENCHMARK (HBA) FOR FIRST TIME IN 4 MONTHS


COALspot.com - Indonesia raised the monthly reference price for sales in October by 2.56 percent, the first increase since June.

The Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources of Indonesia sets the coal spot price benchmark for October 2011 at US$ 119.24 per ton, US$ 2.56 higher than September 2011 Price.

This coal benchmark price was calculated coal with calorie of 6,322kcal/kg (GAR), stated to be using formula based on the June 2011 index average of ICI-1 (Indonesia Coal Index), Platts-1, NEX (Newcastle Export Index), and GC (globalCoal Index).

Assessment basis of coal price reference was calculated considering coal with GCV (GAR)  6,322 kcal/kg, Total Moisture (arb) 8.00%, Total Sulphur 0.8% (arb), Ash Content 15 % (arb) and  delivery free on Board (FOB) Vessel basis  and applicable for spot contract, delivery between 1 - 31 October 2011.

The government of Indonesia has been publishing a monthly coal reference price (HBA & HPB) since January 2009 to be used by coal producers for all future spot and term contracts. The June HBA was 28.65 percent higher Y-o-Y.

The price was only valid for the spot price, while as for term price, the average reference price (HPB) of the previous 3 months. (50% of last month HPB, 30% of a month earlier HPB and 20% of two-month earlier HPB) for coal contract at least 12 months.

Government also declared reference price for eight brands of Indonesia's coal, which are most commonly traded in the market. Those eight brands are acted as the benchmark and used to calculate other 54 coal types with a quality similar to the coal price markers.

For sales in the barge, the reference price is reduced by barging and transshipment costs from barge to vessel.

The coal reference price, which has been established to fulfill the requirement of mining law 04/2009 and latest ministerial decree 17/2010 and also aims to increase government revenue from royalties from coal producers. According to industry, all existing coal supply agreements with Indonesian coal mining companies have  revised to comply with new coal pricing regulation, which was fully implemented on 23 September 2011.

As a result of the Indonesian new pricing formula, price of Indonesian coal will go up by $30 a tone and lead to a INR 0.70  (Approx. US$ 0.015) per unit increase in cost of electricity generation, as quoted by an Indian paper.

Indonesian government also drafting a regulation to ban coal with calorific value below 5700 kcal/kg on air dried basis for the export market by 12 January 2014.  Indonesian coal producers were asked to add value for their product such as washing, crashing, blending and upgrading to have a higher-value product prior to eye on the export market.

Raw coal export will also be restricted.

On Thursday, finance minister of Indonesia sets coal as one of 15 products – along with carbonated soft drinks; electric cigarettes; dyes, monosodium glutamate; and diamonds – that should be levied. Indonesia’s excise law says the government can impose excise, or a specific tax, on goods that have negative impact to humans or the environment, as reported by Jakarta Globe on 2 October 2011.

In coming years Indonesian coal industry will see a number of new regulations and restriction related to coal price and export.
