Strategic Asia Hosts Seminar on Policies and Mechanisms for Higher Value Added in the Coal Industry
Strategic Asia will be hosting a Seminar on ‘Generic Rules or Commodity based Regulations in promoting higher domestic value added in Natural Resource Use: Lessons from the Coal industry?’. While the need for economic diversification and employment promotion through capturing a larger share of value added for the domestic economy is widely recognised, the policy issues involved and the type of mechanisms suitable for value added capture across different commodities is less clearly understood. Hence there is a need for greater understanding and debate over the impact of different sets of regulations in different industries. The present seminar is an attempt to understand and explore the impact of current regulations and industry impact on Indonesia’s coal industry and its coal exports.
