Jakarta –
The high world oil prices have an impact on the price of RON 92 fuel or the equivalent of Pertamax. This makes the economic price of Pertamax reach the range of Rp. 14,500 per liter.
However, Pertamina still sells Pertamax at a price of around Rp. 9,500. Thus, Pertamina sells Pertamax far below the economic price.
The Special Staff of the Minister of SOEs, Arya Sinulingga, also mentioned that luxury cars receive subsidies from Pertamina. Therefore, he said, the price of Pertamax needs to be recalculated.
“As informed by the world fuel price increase and as calculated by friends from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, RON 92 or Pertamax, the economic price is Rp. 14,500. And we know that Pertamax accounts for 13% of fuel consumption in Indonesia and in general luxury cars,” he said, Tuesday (22/3/2022).
“With the Pertamax fuel price of Rp. 9,500, it can be said that Pertamina is subsidizing Pertamax. And this clearly means, Pertamina is subsidizing luxury cars that use Pertamax. This needs to be recalculated so that there is justice, so that Pertamina does not give large subsidies to luxury cars that use Pertamax,” he continued. .
He said the price of Pertamax needs to be recalculated. This is to provide a sense of justice.
“It’s time to recalculate what a decent price is given by Pertamina for the price of Pertamax consumed by luxury cars. This is for all justice,” he said.
He said the price of Pertamax was relatively lower than other countries.
“Compared to foreign countries, the price is quite high, Rp. 14,000-Rp. 15,000. In Malaysia, it is lower because the BBM equivalent to Pertamax there is subsidized with a certain mechanism that they have. who use Pertamax,” he explained.
