JAKARTA: Indonesian coal exports dropped 6.43% to 160 million tonnes in the January-April period of 2025, according to data from the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry.

Surya Herjuna, the ministry’s coal business development director, denied that high reference prices were to blame, but traders have warned that misaligned pricing indices could further erode global demand as thermal coal prices hit four-year lows.
