- Planned new rules would require miners to register themselves
- Government may face difficulty imposing new rules as elections approach
- Govt hopes to allow coal exports from selected ports
Indonesia, the world’s top exporter of thermal coal, is considering new regulations to limit coal production and tighten controls on exports, government officials said on Friday, and could introduce the rules by early next month.
The country currently exports around 70 percent of its coal production, much of it to China and India, but the government says output must be capped as domestic demand for the power station fuel is expected to rise by 13 percent this year and next.

印尼政府考虑制定新规限制煤炭生产和出口
- 印尼计划制定新规，限制煤炭生产并紧控出口
- 随着选举临近，政府实施新规可能面临困难
- 政府希望允许煤炭从几个指定港口出口
印尼政府官员上周五表示，该国在考虑制定新规，限制煤炭生产并紧控出口，可能到下月初出台新规。印尼是全球最大的热能煤出口国。
印尼目前煤炭出口量相当于产量的70%左右，大多出口至中国和印度。但该国政府称，由于国内需求今明两年上升13%，所以必须限制产出。
