It is delivered by coordinating Minister for Economy Hatta Rajasa as found in the Istana Negara, Jakarta, Monday (27/11/2012).
"For those areas that are ready (restrictions on FUEL subsidies) go for it, e.g. the area of Menteng, Pondok Indah is no premium no fuss them. If the area of Kutai such as premium runs out, they have no strong buying Builtin raises an important issue, sort it, "stated Hatta.
Hatta said the Government sought a scarcity of supply of FUEL subsidies is not the case in order not to cause great social cost. However, the Government does not want the quota amount of FUEL subsidies this year that has been added to around 44 million tonnes (KL) broke out again.
"There should be no scarcity which give rise to anxiety but also no rush. The public need not worry. Used to buy 10 liters, yes mediocrity doesn't have to buy 100 litres of it causing a rush. Our economy is good and we keep, so the question of kuotanya is governed by the ACT on the STATE BUDGET, "said Hatta
As is known, this year the Government has increased the quota of FUEL subsidy of 4 million KL mengaluarkan Government that makes an extra budget of Rp 15 trillion to Rp 16 trillion this year.
Passing up the quota, then the FUEL subsidy budget in 2012 increase from Rp 137 trillion to Rp 219 billion. Agus Marto said the figure overload the STATE BUDGET.
In the STATE BUDGET-P 2012 budget approved energy subsidy of Rp 225 trillion, with details of FUEL subsidies to Rp 132 trillion, the electric subsidy of Rp 65 billion fiscal reserves, and energy risk Rp 11 trillion.
Earlier, the Chairman of Kadin Bambang Suryo Sulisto said, FUEL subsidies is not right anymore. The local price of FUEL subsidies which is cheaper than a bottle of mineral water, it does not make sense.
According to Suryo, subsidies of energy (FUEL and electricity) which reached almost Rp 300 trillion was judged too large, and discharged only to be burned.
"Imagine if the Rp 300 trillion is diverted to infrastructure and education. Many are feeling the impact, such as the construction of infrastructure, the effect will be to create new jobs, improve the economy, stretching and entrepreneurs would make use of them as well. Compare the subsidies of FUEL and electricity nowadays, yes that is us-we enjoyed this (entrepreneurs) and people are capable of, "he explained.
Report of the Board of managers of the oil and Gas Downstream (BPH and gas) also says, often going smuggling of FUEL subsidy amount was fair. Lastly, there are about 1,700 KL of FUEL subsidies which allegedly smuggled in Borneo. In fact there are also members of the security apparatus who were also backing up the subsidies for FUEL smuggled into the industry.
Even Curfew Jero Wacik admit, during this smuggling of FUEL subsidies more and more because the price of fuel subsidies that are too cheap, namely Rp 4,500 per liter compared to non FUEL subsidies to Rp 9700 per liter.
Jero Wacik was not denied any smuggling of FUEL subsidies. Even according to Jero, the action more smuggling of FUEL subsidies, although there have been many who are caught. This one is caused by the difference in price between the width increasing FUEL subsidies with the non FUEL subsidies.
"We've been catching them, but stow the more longer, more and more of their subterfuge," said Jero.
