KONTAN.CO.ID - The Workers Social Security Agency (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) is considering taking part in a consortium tasked with buying shares of gold and copper miner PT Freeport Indonesia after the miner agreed to divest 51 percent of its shares in exchange for a contract extension for its Grasberg mine in Papua to 2041. BPJS Ketenagakerjaan president director Agus Susanto said his company would discuss the issue internally before deciding whether it will join a consortium of state-owned enterprises to buy Freeport’s shares. “Of course we support the government, but to make a decision on investment, we need to carry out an internal study,” Agus said in Jakarta on Tuesday as reported by kompas.com.
