Subsidized fuel prices have the potential to increase, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Arifin Tasrif: The government is already trying to stabilize them

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources) has signaled an increase in Pertalite and Diesel fuel oil, as well as LPG, following the increasingly high world price of crude oil, which has now reached USD 100 per barrel.

This was conveyed by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Arifin Tasrif, during a working meeting with Commission VII DPR RI, last Wednesday (13/4).

Deputy Chairman of Commission VII DPR, Eddy Soeparno asked the government to monitor the use of subsidized fuel such as Pertalite so that it is right on target and ensure the availability of diesel stock, before increasing prices.

Director of the Center of Economic and Law Studies, Bhima Yudhistira, believes that what the government must do now is to maintain price stability so that there is no decline in people's purchasing power.

The price of Pertalite, currently, is still priced at IDR 7,650 per liter, while Diesel is still being sold for IDR 5,150 per liter.

The government must carefully consider plans to increase fuel costs so that there is no social unrest in society.

So, is it true that the plan to increase the price of Pertalite and Diesel is the only way to ensure that the APBN is balanced and Indonesia does not fall into the trap due to high world oil prices?

So what is the solution to the impact of this policy on society?

Kompas TV discussed it directly with the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Arifin Tasrif.
