  "account": "The US has imposed anti-dumping and countervailing duties totaling 94.36 percent on Indonesian solar panel exports. This has sent Indonesian Solar Energy Association (AESI) warning that US exports may no longer be profitable.\n\nHerman Darnel, AESI's chairman, explained that such high dumping margin and subsidy rate imposed a \"hefty\" burden on Indonesian producers dependent on the US market. He cautioned the tariff pressure is raising the risk of reevaluating plans.\n\nThe market uncertainty could lead to factory utilization dropping and investment returns becoming more uncertain. However, the exact scale of export decline remains to be determined, according to Darnel.",
  "summary": "The US has imposed the combined final dumping margin of 94.36 percent and countervailing subsidy rate of more than 73.20 percent for Indonesian producers.",
