Indonesia boasts abundant mining commodities, ranging from gold and tin to coal and nickel. In fact, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Indonesia possesses the world's largest nickel reserves.

The USGS estimates global nickel reserves exceeded 100 million metric tons in 2022, a 5.2% increase compared to the estimated 95 million metric tons in 2021.

The report estimates Indonesia's nickel reserves at 21 million metric tons in 2022, equal to Australia's reserves during the same period.

This means Indonesia and Australia each contributed 21% of the total global nickel reserves last year.

Brazil follows in second place with 16 million metric tons of nickel reserves. Russia and New Caledonia each hold 7.5 million and 7.1 million metric tons, respectively.

Indonesia is not only the largest holder of nickel reserves but also the world's leading nickel producer in 2022, reaching 1.6 million metric tons. The Philippines and Russia follow with 330,000 and 220,000 metric tons, respectively.

The following is a list of countries with the largest nickel reserves in the world in 2022:

* Australia: 21 million metric tons
* Indonesia: 21 million metric tons
* Brazil: 16 million metric tons
* Russia: 7.5 million metric tons
* New Caledonia: 7.1 million metric tons
* Philippines: 4.8 million metric tons
* Canada: 2.2 million metric tons
* China: 2.1 million metric tons
* United States: 370,000 metric tons
* Other Countries: 20 million metric tons

As the world's largest holder of nickel reserves, this presents a significant opportunity for Indonesia to boost its national economy through this commodity. Nickel is a crucial raw material in the production of batteries for the electric vehicle (EV) industry, which is experiencing exponential global growth.
