- Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Darwin Zahedy Saleh,
confirmed, mineral resources and coal is the national development
capital must be used wisely.
"(Use judiciously) is because (mineral-coal) as a resource that is not renewable," he said in Jakarta on Thursday. As a keynote speaker at the seminar with the theme "Role of Business Activity and Coal Mining in Economic Growth" held by Association of Indigenous Entrepreneurs usia (hippie), the Director General delivered a speech of Mineral, Coal, and Geothermal Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Bambang Setiawan, he argues, in practice the implementation of activities, mining activities are often the spotlight. On the one hand, he said, the macro mining has been recognized to provide significant contributions to national development, but on the other hand there is the spotlight. He then breaks down a number of contributions, namely, first, state revenues in 2009 of not less than Rp51 trillion has been donated as direct revenues from the general mining subsector, which consists of non-tax revenues approximately Rp15 trillion, and the rest is the state income tax. The second contribution, on investment, which during the year 2009, mining investment to reach Rp1, 8 billion U.S. dollars or increased by 9.5 percent from the previous year figure of 1.6 billion U.S. dollars. These quantities, he said, primarily from the company's contract of work (COW), the company's contract coal mining (PKP2B), and state-owned mining. "The number of mining investment (KP) is the score yet recorded in detail, so if you added the numbers will be even greater," he said. For the third contribution is from the side-chain effects of employment, where in 2009 the number of workers directly from the company Indonesia KK, and state-owned mining PKP2B absorb 110 thousand workers. "The number does not include workers who entered the mining services sector, whose numbers are expected to far more than the amount recorded," he said. He added that in research done Institute for Economic and Society University of Indonesia (LPEM-UI) in 2002 stated that for every one direct employment in mining companies will encourage the opening up other employment to support mining activities are between 12-37 people. The fourth contribution, from the side where the trade balance in 2010, exports of mineral commodities and coal is estimated approximately 20 billion U.S. dollars. "A high enough rate to encourage contributions to national economic growth," he said. Meanwhile, the fifth contribution, in terms of regional development, where the mining sector had a significant contribution, which comes from various sources, both from the results of royalties, or from community development funds to related companies. "In 2010, the company KK, and state-owned mining PKP2B contributed approximately Rp1 trillion, slightly down from the previous year to reach Rp1, 2 trillion," he said. It's just that, from a number of contributions, he said, there are questions to be asked, namely already optimalkah contributions, and if not, what should be done. "So in this context, increasing the value added of mining products is key in encouraging optimal benefits from mining, and is also the primary mandate of the Act Nomor.4/2009 of Mineral and Coal Mining," said Darwin. Meanwhile, Chairman of the beatnik, Suryo B Sulisto, said the seminar is the first step to the general public socialization on Law Implementation Regulations for Mineral and Coal Mining, has been the establishment of two khususya government regulation (PP).
