Penurunan laba bersih ini disebabkan penurunan harga nikel seiring dengan melemahnya permintaan global, serta kenaikan biaya menyusul peningkatan harga bahan bakar minyak BBM serta kenaikan harga material, kata Direktur Utama ANTM, Alwin Syah Loebis dalam siaran pers yang diterima Jumat.
The drop in the net profit was the result of declining nickel prices due to low demand in the world market as well as rising cost following fuel oil and material price hikes, Antam President Director Alwinsyah Syah Loebis said in a press statement.
