JAKARTA - The government ensures that the price of subsidized fuel and LPG will not rise even though the conflict in the Middle East has not ended and global energy prices are still moving up and down.
Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia said the national stock of fuel, crude oil, and LPG is still above the minimum limit.
"We can confirm that the price of subsidized fuel will not increase in accordance with what has been decided. Including subsidized LPG," said Bahlil at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday, July 28.
Bahlil conveyed this certainty after reporting the national energy condition to President Prabowo Subianto.
According to Bahlil, the war in the Middle East still creates uncertainty about the world oil price. Global energy prices also continue to fluctuate.
However, the government assessed that domestic reserves were still sufficient to maintain supply. Bahlil did not mention how long the stock could meet national needs.
During the meeting, the President also asked the government to pay special attention to the supply of fuel for fishermen. The availability of fuel is considered to be maintained so that their business activities are not disrupted.
Bahlil did not specify the distribution steps to be taken or the fishing areas that were priorities.
