JAKARTA, July 5 (Reuters) – Indonesia set its coal benchmark price higher in July at $115.35 per tonne, an official document published by its energy and minerals ministry showed on Monday.
The price is 14.97% higher than June’s benchmark price and the highest since the $117.6 per tonne in May 2011, Refinitiv data showed.
The document did not show what accounted for the price jump. An energy ministry spokesman told Reuters that a statement will be issued later on Monday.
