Based on data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia,
the total estimated and proven reserves of nickel ore are around 4.3 billion tons with the
total estimated and proven reserves of nickel metal being around 69 million tons[9].

Based on the London Market Exchange, nickel prices in the last 5 years tend to
increase. The highest price reached US$ 19,892 in July 2021[16].

Indonesia's policy related to nickel
As a country based on law, Indonesia has the 1945 Constitution (UUD'45) as the legal
basis that regulates all activities in the territory of the Republic of Indonesia[17]. Based on
the 1945 Constitution, the Indonesian government issues various government policies to
regulate all activities that apply in the country[18]. All regulations issued by the government,
including the 1945 Constitution, are shown in Table 2.

Nickel product in the world is divided into 2 categories, nickel class 1 and class 2. Class
1 consists of products in the form of electrolytes, powders, briquettes, and carbonyl
nickel. Class 2 consists of nickel pig iron (NPI) and ferronickel. The difference between
the two is the amount of nickel content, class 2 commonly has a lower nickel content.
Nickel class 2 is used for stainless steel production due to the iron content in it, whilst
nickel class 1 is used for another product making including battery[43]. The largest
nickel production currently is nickel class 2 production as shown in Figure 6. This is
certainly in line with the amount of nickel used for stainless steel as the largest use of
nickel compared to other categories as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 6. Global majority nickel products[44]
In 2020, 35% of nickel production will be produced from nickel sulfide ore and 65%
from nickel laterite ore[44]. Most of the nickel production generate product used as
alloying element, including for stainless steel making[7].
The implementation of the ban on nickel ore exports by the Indonesian government
affects the global market supply and demand for nickel[45]. This ban also forces
entrepreneurs in the nickel mining sector to process their ore first, resulting in an
increase in the value of nickel products[46]. The nickel product that is mostly produced
in Indonesia is nickel class 2, including the NPI[44]. Figure 8 shows that there was an
increase in Indonesian NPI products in 2020 after the ban on nickel ore exports. A
significant increase is predicted to occur in 2021. This export ban also affects the
production of nickel products in China as one of the export destinations for Indonesian
nickel ore. Without an adequate supply of nickel ore, it will certainly affect the decline
in nickel production in China.
Figure 8. Indonesian NPI production compare to another 2018-2020[47]
The increasing interest of countries in the world for clean energy is one of the
triggers for the increase in interest and demand for electric vehicles[50]. In the future,
this demand will continue to increase and the need for basic materials will also
increase[65]. This has prompted the Indonesian government to target the Indonesian
market not only as a market for raw materials or semi-finished materials, but also as the
largest supplier of battery needs to support the world's high demand for electric
vehicles. The Indonesian government is also targeting in the long term to be able to
have a complete domestic production chain of electric vehicles, not only producing raw
materials[57].
