PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (NCKL) also known as Harita Nickel, a sustainable integrated nickel processing company operating on Obi Island, South Halmahera, North Maluku, has recorded another notable achievement. It was awarded the Kie Raha Award 2024 from the central bank (Bank Indonesia -BI) North Maluku Representative as the Best Strategic Partner Supporting Regional Economic and Financial Assessments.
The award was handed over directly by the Head of BI North Maluku Representative Office, Dwi Putra Indrawan, to Corporate Affairs Manager Harita Nickel Anie Rahmi at an event which took place at the Bela Hotel Ballroom, Ternate, on December 3, 2024.
Interestingly, this is the fourth time Harita Nickel has received a similar award in a row from BI. This emphasizes Harita Nickel’s strategic role in supporting economic transformation in North Maluku. The awarding was also part of the Bank Indonesia Annual Meeting event which carries a theme “Synergy to Strengthen National Economic Stability and Transformation.” This theme reflects collective efforts to spur economic recovery and transformation in Indonesia.
In his speech, Dwi said that Indonesia’s economic growth, despite facing global challenges, was still able to grow and perform well enough thanks to the contribution of the industrial sector, especially nickel in North Maluku. Nickel down streaming not only encourages exports of high quality nickel to meet the needs of the global electric vehicle industry, but also becomes the main pillar of goods and services export in North Maluku, in a contribution of more than 90 percent. “In the third quarter, our economic growth grew 4,62 percent, supported by the export sector, especially nickel and its derivatives,“ said Dwi.
The Head of BI North Maluku Representative Office also expressed his appreciation to the respondents for the data collection carried out by BI. “For the support and assistance, we at BI are very grateful. We obtained factual information and input that we can formulate for policy making, especially for BI and regional governments,” explained Dwi.
Representing Harita Nickel, Anie espressed the company’s gratitude for the award given and the partnership that has continued solidly in the last four years. “We humbly thank and express our highest appreciation to BI North Maluku for assisting North Maluku’s economic growth by paying attention to the role of its contributors. Hopefully this increasingly solid partnership will bring more benefits to the land of Moloku Kie Raha,” said Anie.
Anie further conveyed that the transparency that has been conveyed to BI through various surveys conducted is an implementation of the company’s commitment to Environmental, Social and Goverance (ESG) governance.
The awarding of the Kie Raha Award 2024 was also attended by the Acting Governor of North Maluku, Danrem 152/Babullah, the Head of the North Maluku High Prosecutor’s Office, the representative of the North Maluku Chief, Danlamal Ternate, the Head of the North Maluku Regional BIN, the Mayor of Ternate, and a number of other stakeholders.
