印尼与菲律宾联手整合镍资源，将影响全球镍供应链格局；已在两国布局的中资镍矿、冶炼及电池材料企业需关注潜在的合作机会与资源方议价能力提升带来的风险，EPC和设备供应商可跟进相关矿冶项目需求。
印尼与菲律宾签署具有里程碑意义的“镍走廊”协议，由印尼镍矿商协会和菲律宾镍业协会在宿务签署，印尼经济统筹部长艾尔朗加·哈塔托见证。该协议旨在整合两国巨大的镍资源，确保全球电动汽车电池和不锈钢生产供应链。据2026年美国地质调查局数据，两国在2025年合计控制全球镍产量的73.6%。
This will become an inseparable axis of nickel reserves and production for the world,
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia and the Philippines have signed a landmark agreement to establish a "Nickel Corridor," integrating their massive resources to secure global supply chains for electric vehicle batteries and stainless steel production.
The Memorandum of Understanding was signed on Thursday in Cebu between the Indonesian Nickel Miners Association and the Philippine Nickel Industry Association.
This partnership creates a formidable trade bloc, as 2026 USGS data shows these two nations controlled a combined 73.6 percent of global nickel production in 2025.
Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto, who witnessed the signing, emphasized that this is not a standard business deal.
“This is the foundation for the Indonesia-Philippines Nickel Corridor, a structured platform connecting Indonesia's downstream smelter strength with the upstream ore supply from the Philippines,” Airlangga said in a statement, Friday.
The collaboration addresses a critical technical and logistical need for Indonesia’s massive smelting industry.
To produce high-quality battery materials, Indonesian smelters require specific ore blends that the Philippines can provide through precise silicon-to-magnesium ratios.
Under this agreement, Indonesia leverages its status as the holder of 44.5 percent of world reserves, while the Philippines secures a role in a high-value regional chain.
“The Philippines will no longer only be an exporter of raw ore. It will be integrated into a higher regional value chain, while Indonesia gains feedstock security for our battery and stainless steel industries,” Airlangga noted.
Beyond industrial output, the corridor is a play for energy sovereignty. Nickel is a critical mineral essential for the global energy transition, specifically for electric vehicle batteries and solar energy storage.
The partnership includes the exchange of information to stabilize global prices and the development of sustainable technologies for processing industrial side products.
The government targets US$47.36 billion in investment and the creation of 180,600 jobs by 2030. To accelerate this, Indonesia is promoting Special Economic Zones (SEZs) as hubs for international-standard battery innovation. Airlangga concluded by highlighting the global impact of this regional axis.
“This will become an inseparable axis of nickel reserves and production for the world,” he said.
This alliance cements an already robust trade relationship. In 2025, Indonesian exports to the Philippines hit US$10.22 billion, making Indonesia the Philippines' third-largest trading partner after China and Japan.
