JAKARTA - Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia responded to the statement by the Chairman of the National Economic Council (DEN) Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan who stated that the government plans to provide fuel subsidies directly to individuals, or in other words using a cash direct assistance scheme (BLT).

Bahlil said that for now the blending scheme is most likely to be implemented in Indonesia

"Probably, one of the potentials among alternatives, which is close to the decision is the blending scheme," said Bahlil at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Building, Friday, February 21.

Just so you know, blending is a scheme for providing subsidies to product commodities and some others in the form of Direct Cash Assistance (BLT).

Nevertheless, Bahlil said, the government had not yet decided what scheme would be implemented.

"I'm still counting it. It's still there (subsidies), and later we'll report it internally," said Bahlil.
