In 2022 it can be said to be a golden year for the Coal commodity which managed to reap profits when commodity prices soared. As the world's largest coal exporter, Indonesia was able to record a trade balance surplus for 31 consecutive months until November 2022. The Reference Coal Price (HBA) in January 2023 was at the level of USD 305.21 per ton. This figure increased by 8.43% or USD 23.73 per ton from December 2022 to USD 281.48 per ton.
In the mining process, the availability of equipment, especially heavy equipment, will determine the continuity of production which has an impact on productivity and efficiency. As a finance company, one of which is heavy equipment financing, MNC Guna Usaha Indonesia supports the activities of the mining, construction, manufacturing, plantation, and agricultural industries.
Miron Durait Panjaitan, Director of MNC Guna Usaha Indonesia said that the price of the coal commodity is closely related to the heavy equipment rental industry, such as that provided by MNC Guna Usaha Indonesia. With heavy equipment financing provided by MNC Guna Usaha Indonesia, it can assist in Indonesia's development.
The progress of heavy equipment financing is closely related to commodity prices and an increase in infrastructure projects, especially in mining. Heavy equipment financing can be the best solution to reduce costs and save capital and increase flexibility
Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Arifin Tasrif said the coal target for domestic needs in 2023 is indeed lower than the realization in 2022 due to considering a number of government steps to reduce emissions. "Why did it go down from 193 million tons to 177 million tons? Of course, there are efficiency programs that we have to do to reduce emissions and also the efficiency of coal-consuming plants," he said at the 2022 ESDM Sector Performance Achievement Press Conference and Work Program for 2023 at the Office of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Jakarta, Monday.
The Government's target for the coal community this year is 695 million tons with the division 177 tons being the amount of coal that will be used for domestic needs, and 518 million tons being the amount of coal that will be exported.
Not only that but price declines were also experienced by other commodities, in which world crude oil prices fell 2% ahead of the announcement of interest rates by the United States (US) Federal Reserve or The Fed. In addition, Russia's oil exports, which remained strong amidst sanctions, also weighed down on oil prices.
However, the demand for coal in 2023 is expected to continue to move positively due to economic growth in countries that are highly dependent on coal such as India and China.
