Gotrade News - Effective April 1, 2026, the government has confirmed that there will be no increase in the prices of both subsidized and non-subsidized fuel, addressing public concerns. This decision results from coordination between Pertamina and the government, supported by President Prabowo Subianto's directive to prioritize public welfare.
Key Takeaways:
- The government guarantees no fuel price hike starting April 1.
- Presidential directive: Prioritize public interest.
- Price stability aims to maintain consumer purchasing power.
Prices for Pertamax will remain at Rp12,300 per liter and Pertamax Turbo at Rp13,100 per liter. Subsidized products, such as Pertalite, will be maintained at Rp10,000 per liter. This alleviates earlier concerns about potential fuel price increases.
State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi emphasized that the decision was made to protect public purchasing power. Coordination with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and Pertamina ensures the decision is appropriate.
Pertamina will also maintain the current diesel prices, with Dexlite and Pertamina Dex priced at Rp14,200 per liter and Rp14,500 per liter, respectively. This stable pricing policy is viewed as an effort to maintain economic stability and public purchasing power.
President Prabowo Subianto's directive underscores the importance of placing public interest at the forefront of decision-making. The government hopes this step will alleviate public concerns about potential inflation from the energy sector.
This move is expected to help stabilize the economy and maintain consumer confidence. The government considers this policy a strategic measure to mitigate larger market fluctuations amid a dynamic economic situation.
The assurance of no price hikes provides relief to market participants and the public concerned about inflation. As a nation heavily dependent on fuel, this policy is deemed crucial to ensure price stability in other sectors.
