Indonesian President Joko Widodo is making waves in the nickel industry, with exports tenfold higher than before.

what president is on the nickel

Since being swept to power in 2014, Indonesian President Joko Widodo has made a significant impact on the nickel industry. Indonesia has become the world leader of nickel by far, contributing 37 percent of the world's supply, up from just 3 percent in 2014. This immense growth is largely attributed to Widodo's efforts to prioritize the country's nickel industry.

The Widodo administration has taken a number of steps to ensure the success of the nickel industry. The government has been pushing for more efficient exploration and excavation of nickel reserves, allowed for easier access to export markets, and provided tax incentives for companies in the nickel industry. The government has also been actively investing in infrastructure and research to make sure that the country's nickel industry remains competitive in the global market.

One of the most notable projects undertaken by the Widodo administration is the Magna Nickel Project. The project is designed to explore and develop a large nickel mining complex in the country. Magna vice president, in a statement, said that the widths of mineralization intersected are significant and if the copper and nickel grades are confirmed, they could potentially be a major contributor to Indonesia's nickel production.

Vladimir Potanin is president and largest shareholder of Norilsk Nickel, a metals producer that has lost access to capital and suppliers as much of the nickel business has moved to Indonesia. Potanin has been vocal in his criticism of Widodo, saying that the president's policies have been detrimental to the nickel industry.

And would President Biden issue his first veto? Nickel edged out Bo Hines to win the 13th District in November, but Biden has yet to make a statement on the matter. It is likely that he will take a more conservative stance on the matter, as he has already expressed his support for the nickel industry.

February 24, 2023 saw Premium Nickel Resources Ltd. (TSXV: PNRL) announce that it has entered into an agreement with certain president's list purchasers on which a cash commission of 3% will be paid. The company is looking to tap into the potential of the nickel industry and is confident that Widodo's policies will continue to be beneficial for the nickel industry.

One of the key Chinese players in last year's nickel short squeeze is Chen Hongliang, the president of mining and refining company. Chen has been a major proponent of the Widodo administration's policies and has been a vocal critic of other countries' nickel policies. He has attributed the success of the nickel industry in China to the Widodo administration's policies.

(Bloomberg) -- The value of Indonesia's nickel exports surged tenfold in 2020, reaching a record of $1.7 billion, according to the latest UN statistics. Widodo has attributed the success of the nickel industry to the country's policies, pointing to the economic models of Taiwan and South Korea as examples of how Indonesia can be successful in the nickel industry.

He considered nickel downstreaming to be the right step as a stepping stone for Indonesia. President Joko Widodo stated “We have to be brave enough to produce value-added products for the global market.” The Widodo administration has already taken steps to encourage downstreaming, such as providing incentives for companies to invest in downstreaming operations.

Overall, the Widodo administration has been instrumental in the success of the nickel industry in Indonesia. The government has been actively investing in the industry, providing incentives to companies, and encouraging downstreaming operations. It is likely that the success of the nickel industry in Indonesia will continue under Widodo's leadership.
