JAKARTA – PT Pertamina (Persero) raises prices BBM non-subsidized types of Pertamax Turbo, Dexlite and Pertamina Dex. The increase applies throughout Indonesia starting March 3, 2022.
A number of provinces experienced various price increases, for example in the DKI Jakarta area, the price of Pertamax Turbo increased from Rp. 13,500 to Rp. 14,500 per liter, Dexlite increased from Rp. 12,150 to Rp. 12,950 and Pertamina Dex increased from Rp. 13,200 to Rp. 13,700.
Here are the facts about the increase in non-subsidized fuel prices, summarized by Okezone, Saturday (12/3/2022).
1. Scan the rise in world oil prices
World oil prices soared amid the Russo-Ukrainian war. Even the world oil price had penetrated the level of USD 130 per barrel. This oil price has a direct impact on the state budget subsidy burden and Pertamina’s financial burden.
Pertamina VP Corporate Communication Fajriyah Usman said product price adjustments were also made selectively, only for certain non-subsidized fuels such as the Pertamax Series and Dex Series whose consumption portion was only around 15% of the total national fuel consumption.
2. Pertalite does not go up
Meanwhile, the price of Pertalite itself has not changed since the last 3 years. Currently, the portion of Pertalite consumption is the largest or around 50% of the total national fuel consumption. Therefore, the Government continues to discuss the Pertalite compensation scenario so that Pertalite price stabilization can be maintained.
