|Fuel Price Composition Annotation=Transport fuels are highly subsidized in Indonesia, resulting in fuel prices that are among the lowest in Asia. As of February 2011, about 43% of the actual costs of 88 octance gasoline are covered by the government through subsidies (→App. A2)

A detailed price breakdown is not available online, hints welcome.
|Fuel Pricing Policies=Transport fuels in Indonesia are highly subsidized. The price for subsidized fuel is fixed and changes on an ad-hoc basis. However, only the retailing companies Pertamina and AKR Corporindo are allowed to sell subsidized diesel and gasoline at the pump (only 88 octance gasoline is subsidized, →App. A2). Other retailers, as e.g. Shell, are only allowed to sell non-subsidized diesel and gasoline (92 and 95 octance). The price difference is immense: As of Feb2011, the subsidized price for 88 octane gasoline was 4500 IDR, while non-subsidized gasoline starts from 8000 IDR (and higher, depending on the quality).

Because the subsidies mean an immense burden for the national budget, several ways of how subsidies can be reduced were investigated for the last years. A proposal in early 2011 was to limit the amount of subsidized fuels sold, e.g. by stopping subsidies for private car owners (while mass transit, industries, etc. still receive subsidies; see →App.A2).

 Shifting subsidy from kerosene to LPG: To reduce government’s expenditure on the kerosene subsidy, Pertamina launched a kerosene-to-LPG conversion program in May 2007, in which the coverage of areas where subsidized kerosene is being sold is being diminished to zero over time. The free starter package includes a stove, a 3-kg cylinder, a hose and a regulator. The program targets households and micro-businesses. In July 2012, Pertamina reported that it had distributed 54 million packages and saved Rp. 61.6 trillion (US$6.5 billion) in fuel subsidies since the start of the conversion program. It is not clear if these savings are net of (now much larger) LPG subsidies.
-Consequences of subsidies: Annual government expenditures on fuel subsidies soared to US$23 billion in 2012.
+Consequences of subsidies: Annual government expenditures on fuel subsidies soared to US$23 billion in 2012. Siphoning off LPG from small cylinders to transfer it to larger cylinders has been partially blamed for some of the series of LPG cylinder explosions―responsible for at least 22 deaths―in the early stages of kerosene-to-LPG conversion campaign.
 Rationing subsidized fuels: Despite a 2006 presidential decree forbidding consumption of subsidized gasoline and diesel by industrial consumers, downstream regulator at the time, BPH Migas, said in Sep 2010 that such consumption was continuing and ordered Pertamina to stop selling―BPH Migas estimated that industries consumed no less than 15% of the subsidized fuel quota. In May 2012, the Indonesian president announced new measures to contain fuel subsidies, including a ban on the purchase of subsidized fuels by state enterprises, government officials, plantation, and mining companies, and electronic tracking of sales of subsidized fuels.

+|Fuel Pricing Policies="Pricing policy: The prices of one grade each of gasoline and diesel, kerosene (for households and small businesses), and LPG are controlled and heavily subsidized. LPG sold in 3-kg cylinders is heavily subsidized at Rp 4,250 (US$0.44)/kg. LPG in 6-kg and 12-kg cylinders is sold at Rp 5,950 (US0.62)/kg and LPG in 50-kg cylinders at Rp 7,455 (US$0.79)/kg. The prices of other grades of gasoline and diesel are market-based, but the national oil company Pertamina, and not government, subsidizes LPG sold in larger cylinders, reportedly costing Pertamina Rp. 3.8 trillion (US$0.43 billion) in 2011. The price of LPG subsidized by government has been frozen for years. After raising fuel prices twice in 2005 and once in 2008, government lowered the prices of gasoline and diesel (but not kerosene) in Dec 2008 and Jan 2009, and has not adjusted prices since. In Mar 2012, the parliament voted to block government’s plan to raise fuel prices and agreed to a price increase only if the price of Indonesian crude averages US$121/bbl over 6 months. Government sets an annual subsidized fuel sales quota and fuel subsidy budget, both of which are typically exceeded. Government revised its subsidized fuel quota in 2011 to 40.49 million kl from the original volume target of 38.59 million kl, but the final figure was 41.8 million kl, 8% higher than the original budget. The quota for 2012 was 40 million kl, but consumption exceeded 45 million kl.
