Indonesia's coal exports ban to have limited impact on South Korea, says its Industry Ministry

SEOUL, Jan 3 (Yonhap/Bernama): Indonesia's recent ban on coal exports is expected to have a limited impact on South Korea, the industry ministry said Monday, but the Seoul government set up a task force to closely manage the situation as a precaution.

Last week, Indonesia announced it has banned exports of coal in January, citing concerns over widespread blackouts due to low supplies at its domestic power plants.
