Indonesia: Semen Indonesia’s net profit fell by 45% year-on-year to US$29.6m in the first quarter of 2018 from US$54m in the same period in 2017. It blamed the decline on fuel costs and rising debt payments, according to Reuters. Despite this, its sales revenue rose by 3.4% to US$476m from US$460m. Its cement sales volumes rose by 4% to 6.79Mt from 6.53Mt. The majority of this rise came from exports, which increased by 44.9% to 0.6Mt from 0.41Mt.
