Indonesia's Finance Minister has proposed implementing a toll on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Malacca, one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints. He argued that Indonesia is not a marginal country and sits along a key global trade and energy route, yet ships passing through are not charged. The proposal could have significant implications for global shipping costs and trade flows if implemented.
