we are keeping a close eye on the unrest in new caledonia. french president emmanuel macron has wrapped up his 24—hour visit the territory. he pledged not to force through a controversial voting reform in the territory after weeks of deadly rioting. new caledonia is also the world's one of the world's leading producers of nickel and accounts for 6% of global supply. recent disruption sent nickel prices to a nine—month high. i spoke to a principal analyst and asked for an outlook on the nickel industry given this backdrop. the price has been impacted by the unrest in new caledonia. we would suggest that nickel prices are certainly ahead of fundamental somewhat. we have been in an oversupplied market for the last few years with a large surplus last year of over 250 kilotonnes. while we expect that to come down quite radically this year to maybe less than 100,000 tons of nickel in surplus we are still much oversupplied in the market and this is very much around the introduction or emergence and continuing emergence of indonesia as a powerhouse i

but it's no secret that new caledonia is a nickel rich region. and the demonstrations are taking place amid a crisis and the nickel industry. so to what extent would you say that this has affected the current situation in general with regard to that? yeah, there is very good mental for the so submission of these, these demonstrations, you're kind of doing the are you go over details, thoughts about quinn, to say, to press things. that's known reserves, nico, and then you will peer. the union is this think native niko as a car.

before we talk about the events that happened in caledonia , tell us where this caledonia is and what the french are doing there, since when did they colonize there , how did they keep such a colony in that area until now in 2024. yes, see the lands of in fact, new caledonia, which is one of the last french colonies , is located east of australia and new zealand in the ocean. it is located in the continent of oceania, and it is considered a very strategic area for france. the french have been there since the 18th century, that is, when france was at the height of the french revolution. it was discovered at that time. in the search for being there later in the 19th century, when napoleon iii actually came to power in 1800, and in fact 53 when napoleon came, it was completed by 1860 , so france is one of the oldest colonies in france, and the region is very strategy for it is considered to be france, and during this period, in fact, for several centuries, france has actually maintained its presence there and has been able to , in fact, according to the immigrants it has sent there, for

and wayne, the situation i knew caledonia has led to a lot of tours leaving the country. is that still the case? so evacuation slide still happening, or have things come down a little bit? yes. well, this many tourists were stranded there because pretty much soon after the purchase began last week, the international airport in new may a close to commercial flights. it is still closed and will remain so until at least half a day. so the new zealand and australia and governments in particular, were very keen to get military across into new caledonia to evacuate the citizens who wanted to return home. it took them a long time to get permission to do that, the managed to get a handful of flights in the there are still many people who are strained to the new caledonia of both the new zealand and australia and governments requested permission to land the rec, project again in new me uh, on thursday. those requests were denied by the french authorities because of the president's visit to new caledonia. so that's being met with prostration by many of those people who were strande

new caledonia, as a french tony in 2024. it's starting to look a bit like algeria as a french colony in the fifty's and sixty's when there was a, a fight for self determination there as well. and that's exactly what perish is looking to prevent. we're talking here about an island that's closer to us. strongly i in the pacific then is to friend what exactly happened to kick off all of this new unrest. well, 1st president menu and that cause really party and the french national assembly on the other side of the world i might add here in paris, decided to introduce a new law, meaning that french people who have lived in new caledonia for 10 years could vote in the islands elections, which means that thousands more people living there would be added to be electra roles. now some local leaders are saying that the new move risks die, leaving the vote of the native can next to saw and we feel oppressed, we increase everything is happening over that. and we have one dream. uh, we, the kind of people being heard most crucial, but wha

while new caledonia has fost reserves of nichol mining, it has become unprofitable powers stepped up with the proposal. so cool, nickel pack, just so they sat, it said it would subsidize energy prices to reduce production costs. it would also invest in electricity production on the island. sounds good. well, know so many islanders who say that in return they have to find some $65000000.00 us dollars to finance that cost cutting exercise, meaning new tax buttons. once again, caledonian is we'll have to contribute. this is all the more unacceptable as they already contribute massively to supporting the industry that's a lot. and yet the commitments required of manufacturers are non existent. that nickel packed is also being criticized by pro independent support is for its colonial under toes. it's a colonial pact to take back control of new caledonia as rule materials because what font isn't saying is that by having more control of a nickel sector, it type things. it's quick, fleming island nation for generations to come. there's already a solely blocked in new colorado near cooling fo
