JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of Commission VI of the Indonesian House of Representatives Aria Bima asked PT Pertamina Patra Niaga to prepare various scenarios as a solution if the world's fuel price (BBM) is out of control. Moreover, there are several factors that influence fluctuations in oil prices.

Furthermore, Aria said, fluctuations in oil prices will certainly have an impact on determining domestic fuel prices.

As is known, currently several countries have started to experience an economic recession. The crisis has also occurred in various lines, including the energy crisis. Indonesia is also affected by this.

Therefore, Aria requested that PT Pertamina Patra Niaga create a scheme to overcome this crisis. Moreover, Indonesia is quite dependent on the supply of oil from abroad.

"Skenario-skenario must be prepared when the price of fuel will be unpredictable," he said after chairing the Commission VI DPR RI Specific Working Visit Team meeting with the Board of Directors of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, in Bandar Lampung, quoted Tuesday, September 27.

The PDIP politician also highlighted the turmoil that occurred in this country due to the increase in subsidized fuel prices since early September.

Aria asked that there be cooperation between state-owned companies as a solution. PT Pertamina Patra Niaga is currently exploring cooperation with PT Telkom Indonesia to make subsidized fuel cards for eligible people.

He asked PT Pertamina Patra Niaga and PT Telkom to work well together to carry out the discourse on the subsidized fuel card.

With the card, he believes that the distribution of fuel subsidies will be right on target.

"We hope that Patra Niaga can more implement and can cooperate in using various systems so that the implementation of subsidized fuel can be on target, which is what target we will see to the extent of using the card," he said.
