Cemex likely decided to exit Indonesia after failing to gain majority control of Semen Gresik because majority ownership is crucial for implementing its strategic decisions and operational efficiencies. Without majority control, Cemex would struggle to influence management direction, optimize resource allocation, and integrate its global practices effectively. This lack of control could hinder profitability and growth potential in a competitive market, making it less viable for Cemex to maintain its investment. Ultimately, the inability to secure majority control may have led Cemex to reassess its investment strategy in Indonesia.
