JAKARTA – Indonesia has delayed plans to extract more revenue from the mining sector until it can figure out an "ideal formulation" that benefits both the government and mining firms, the country's mining minister said on Monday.

The government planned to impose higher royalties on some mining companies, as well as an export tax on shipments of certain minerals, including coal.

The ministry is collecting feedback from miners to make sure the government arrives at a policy that will not burden the sector, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia told reporters.

"After hearing input from the public and businesses, I will put this on hold to develop a good, mutually beneficial formula," Lahadalia said.

Officials have previously said that the government aims to increase revenue from the mining sector.
