JAKARTA - The government is encouraged to accelerate the revision of Presidential Regulation number 191 of 2014 concerning the provision, distribution and selling price of retail fuel oil (BBM)
Researcher from the Center of Food, Energy, and Sustainable Development Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (Indef) Dhenny Yuartha Junifta said this follows the low domestic oil production and the weakening of the rupiah exchange rate against the US dollar which is feared to increase fuel prices and further burden the state budget.
"We have calculated how the solution will be. One way is indeed to revise the Presidential Decree to limit the use of JBKP, the amount is there and it drains fiscal," he said in the Energy Corner, Tuesday, June 25.
Dhenny said that his party had carried out calculations related to options that the government had to take to reduce the consumption of Pertalite fuel which could erode the state budget. Some of the options that Indef has taken into account include limiting car consumption, high CC cars or all vehicles are limited to certain CC capacities.

"For example, when all black plates, official cars are all limited to pertalite and motorbikes above 150 CC are limited, we can save IDR 34 trillion. Or through the 60 liter car quota there is a savings of IDR 17 trillion and the option is only a 1400cc Moil," he explained.
Meski demikian Dheny menegaskan satu-satunya cara yang dapat dilakukan pemerintah adalah dengan melakukan revisi terhadap Perpres 191/2014.
"One of the ways taken is that the revision of the Perpres will be completed immediately because it ensnares fiscal..," he concluded.
