The Indonesian export ban, which came into effect in January, will likely take a big toll on the country's trade balance, according to a new analysis by the World Bank. The analysis estimates that the export ban on unprocessed commodities will reduce the country's trade balance by USD 12.5 billion, generating a total loss in taxable profits, including royalties, export taxes, and corporate taxes, of around USD 6.5 billion in the period 2014-2017.
