The Indonesian government will buy 14 percent of shares valued over 500 million U.S. dollars in a unit of U.S. firm Newmont Mining Corp, a media report said here Thursday. The plan came as the Indonesian government won an arbitration over the divestment dispute. In March, the arbitration court asked the foreign shareholders of the PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara to sold part of their shares to the government or local investors within six months. 'The government is in the position to buy for the need of state and provincial administration,' Indonesian Finance Minister Sri Mulyani quoted by Bisnis Indonesia as saying here on Monday.
