The Ministry previously said that Freeport will issue a new stock in the divestment process, which will be bought by the government in order to acquire Freeport Indonesia’s majority share.
The Indonesian government currently own 9.36 percent of the shares, which means that they need to buy 41 percent of Freeport’s shares to reach the goal.
