PT Freeport Indonesia contributed a total of IDR 75 trillion to the state throughout 2025 and early 2026. The amount includes taxes, royalties, dividends, as well as profit-sharing distributions to the central and regional governments.Most recently, on April 8, 2026, the company distributed IDR 4.8 trillion in net profit sharing from the 2025 fiscal year to both the central government and regional administrations.PTFI President Director Tony Wenas stated that the company continues to fulfill its obligations to the state in a transparent and accountable manner.“The company consistently prioritizes transparency and accountability in fulfilling its obligations to the state and regional governments, with the hope that the contributions can be utilized for the greatest benefit of local communities,” Tony said in a written statement on Saturday, May 9, 2026.Tony explained that out of the total IDR 75 trillion contribution, IDR 16.9 trillion was distributed as dividends to MIND ID as the Indonesian government’s shareholder representative. In addition, regional governments received a total of IDR 13.48 trillion, consisting of IDR 10.6 trillion paid throughout 2025 and an additional IDR 2.88 trillion from the company’s 2025 net profit distribution.The additional IDR 4.8 trillion distribution includes IDR 1.92 trillion allocated to the central government, IDR 720.5 billion to Central Papua, and IDR 1.2 trillion to Mimika Regency.Meanwhile, seven other regencies in Central Papua each received IDR 137.2 billion, namely Nabire Regency, Paniai Regency, Puncak Regency, Puncak Jaya Regency, Dogiyai Regency, Deiyai Regency, and Intan Jaya Regency.Tony said the company’s contribution could potentially increase as mineral commodity prices remain relatively high. However, PTFI’s mining operations have not yet fully recovered following the incident at the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine.“Currently, PTFI’s operations are still in the recovery phase following the Grasberg Block Cave (GBC) underground mining incident, with production levels only reaching around 40 to 50 percent. The company targets returning to full capacity by early 2028,” Tony stated.In addition to its contributions to the state, PTFI also allocated social investment funds for communities surrounding its mining areas. Throughout 2025, the company’s social investment reached IDR 2 trillion.“The company is committed to continuing the program with an annual value of approximately USD 100 million, equivalent to IDR 1.7 trillion, through 2041,” he said.
