The global nickel industry is currently in a highly dynamic phase, marked by shifts in supply and demand patterns at the global level. Amid this evolving market landscape, Eramet Indonesia’s CEO, Jerome Baudelet, shared the company’s perspective on several key issues, including global market trends in 2026, geopolitical dynamics, and policy developments affecting critical mineral supply chains. Indonesia is seen as continuing to play an increasingly strategic role in the global nickel supply chain going forward.
