Indonesian Coal Price Reference
According to the Indonesian mining law 4/2009, all coal miners in Indonesia to require to follows the government declared coal prices (HBA) when they conclude a coal sale and purchase contract with their buyers either on spot or terms.
The Director General of Mineral and Coal’s declared the minimum selling price for Indonesian coal for April 2014 delivery was lower than March 2014 declared price.
The reference price is to be used by coal producers for all spot and term contracts.
This coal benchmark price is stated as using a formula based on the index average of ICI-1 (Indonesia Coal Index), Platts-5900, Newcastle Export Index, and global Coal Index. The assessment basis of the coal price reference was calculated considering coal with GCV 6,322kcal/kg (GAR), Total Moisture (AR) 8.00%, Total Sulphur 0.8% (AR), Ash Content 15% (AR) and delivery Free on Board (FOB) Vessel basis.
The government declared HBA for April 2014 slipped 2.86% per cent month on month or 15.53% year on year (April 2013). April 2014 declared HBA was the lowest since December 2009.

Royalty Increase; Export Duty
According to available information, the Indonesian government is studying a proposal to increase royalty on coal as well as to introduce an export duty for coal next year. Government is also studying another proposal to restrict coal loading ports in Indonesia to implement better monitoring system to eliminate illegal mining. Indonesia is having hundred of barge loading ports and anchorage coal loading point support coal loading in South, East and North Kalimantan as well as Sumatera Island. However our sources also said that, the government may not introduce new royalty or export duty soon and may wait for better market condition.
