        "summary": "Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto has committed to keeping the price of subsidised Pertalite fuel unchanged until the end of 2026. The government will use the state budget as a shock absorber amid high global oil prices, with the Indonesian Crude Price averaging USD90.46 per barrel in the first half of 2026. The policy aims to protect public purchasing power and is accompanied by plans to reduce diesel imports through the B50 biodiesel programme.",
        "content": "<p>The government is committed to not raising the price of subsidised\nPertalite fuel until the end of 2026, according to Coordinating Minister\nfor Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto.<\/p>\n<p>He said the state budget (APBN) continues to function as a shock\nabsorber in withstanding oil price spikes, with the average Indonesian\nCrude Price (ICP) throughout the first half of 2026 reaching USD90.46\nper barrel, far above the APBN assumption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government\u2019s principle is clear: people\u2019s purchasing power must\nnot be eroded. That is why we maintain fuel prices, stabilise food\nprices, and channel stimulus precisely on target,\u201d Airlangga said at a\npress conference at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs\noffice in Jakarta, as quoted on Thursday (6\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Airlangga said this is a directive from the President. In line with\nthat, the government will also reduce dependence on diesel imports\nthrough the B50 biodiesel programme policy. This is part of the\ngovernment\u2019s policy to maintain energy security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the implementation of B50, we will no longer import diesel. And\nin fact, at current prices, the utilisation of subsidies for B50 is\nrelatively small,\u201d Airlangga concluded.<\/p>",
