After the crisis hit Europe in 2009, there was a massive Euro capital movement to Swiss causing the overvaluation of the Franc against the Euro which threatened the Swiss economic growth, because Swiss is an exporter country. To save the economy of Swiss, Swiss National Bank announced to set minimum exchange rate at CHF 1.20 per euro in 2011. The policy was successfully boosting the economic growth rate, and preventing the threat to the Swiss export sector from 2011-2014, but without any domestic financial crisis and prior notice, on 15 January 2015, Swiss announced to unpeg the Euro and deliberately weakened its economic growth projection from 1,8% to 0,5% in 2015.

Abstract

This paper explores the trade dispute between Indonesia and the European Union at the WTO, triggered by Indonesia’s decision to ban raw nickel ore exports. The policy forms part of a broader national downstreaming strategy aimed at strengthening domestic industrialization and supporting the global shift towards green energy. However, the European Union considers the measure a trade barrier that breaches liberalization principles under GATT 1994. Using a normative legal approach, this study examines relevant international trade and environmental laws, as well as Indonesia’s domestic regulations. The analysis reveals a persistent tension between developing countries’ sovereign rights to manage their natural resources and the global pressure to comply with free trade norms. The dispute highlights the need for international trade law to evolve and better accommodate the sustainable development priorities of developing economies.
