Record Coal Prices Help Indonesia's Recovery
A tugboat sails past piles of coal on a barge on the Mahakam River in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, Indonesia on October 15, 2021. Indonesia has emerged as the regional winner from higher energy prices, thanks to sustained demand from China amid still-muted economic activity at home. Surging prices for coal and palm oil, along with global energy shortages, have proved a boon for Indonesia’s exporters. These conditions are expected to hold at least until the end of the year.
