JAKARTA - The Directorate General of Mineral and Coal (Ditjen Minerba) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) revealed that the use of technological service innovation and digitalization can optimize state revenues and increase the effectiveness of supervision.

"The use of technological service innovation and digitization is expected to have an impact on optimizing state revenues and increasing the effectiveness of supervision," said Director of Mineral and Coal Revenue at the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal, Totoh Abdul Fatah, as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, September 24.

The Directorate General of Mineral and Coal at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has contributed and played an active role in building innovations in technology services and digital systems for the transformation of the mining and coal sector in Indonesia.

Various applications are built with the spirit of togetherness to optimize integrated and transparent management of mineral and coal resources.

This effort is also expected to have significant implications for stakeholders in the mining and coal industry in increasing compliance with regulations, efficiency, operations, strengthening transparency and accountability and providing support for sustainable development.

"Let us continue to collaborate to encourage positive changes in the management of Indonesia's natural resources. God willing, through this collaboration we will not only move towards technological excellence, but also towards better and more sustainable mining governance. Our seriousness in realizing good mining governance is a form of responsibility and love for the nation and state," said Totoh Abdul Fatah.

Secretary of the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal, Siti Sumilah Rita Susilawati, said that the mining sector, especially minerals and coal, is one of the backbones of the national economy, especially as a source of state revenue.

The mining sector acts as a driver for regional development, trade balance, investment, and provision of energy and raw materials for the domestic industry.

The contribution of mining activities to the state in 2023 was realized through the realization of the Minerba Subsector PNBP which reached Rp172.96 trillion.

Based on this contribution, of course, the mining sector is a vital sector in Indonesia, so that productivity and safety innovation in the mining world is something that needs to be considered by the Government and business entities.
