JAKARTA - The government ensures that subsidized fuel and subsidized LPG prices will not increase even though the price of non-subsidized fuel has been adjusted to market conditions.
Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia emphasized that the government would continue to maintain energy subsidies so as not to burden low-income people.
"For the price of subsidized fuel and LPG, there is no change. That was then," said Bahlil after meeting President Prabowo Subianto at the Presidential Palace Complex, Thursday, June 11.
Meanwhile, the price of non-subsidized fuel, including Pertamax, will adjust to market price developments with calculations made by business actors, both Pertamina and other private companies.
According to Bahlil, the government is also preparing various steps to maintain people's purchasing power due to changes in energy prices.
He emphasized that the government's priority is to protect groups of people who are entitled to receive subsidies.
"The important thing is that we take care of our brothers and sisters who are economically down. This is the subsidy," said Bahlil.
According to Bahlil, the community of non-subsidized fuel users has better economic ability so that price adjustments follow the market mechanism.
