This decision is seen as crucial for maintaining purchasing power, curbing inflation, and supporting key sectors like transportation, logistics, and SMEs.

Risyad Fahlefi, has\nexpressed appreciation for the government\u2019s policy of maintaining fuel\n(BBM) prices amid the pressures of global economic dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>According to Risyad, this decision demonstrates the government\u2019s\nconcern for the public, particularly low-income communities who are\nseverely affected by fluctuations in energy prices. The stability of\nfuel prices is an important factor in preserving public purchasing power\nand curbing inflation rates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe assess the government\u2019s step in keeping fuel prices stable as a\nconcrete commitment to protecting the people from heavier economic\nburdens, especially amid uncertain global conditions,\u201d Risyad stated in\na press release in Jakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, DPP GMNI views this policy as having positive impacts on\nstrategic sectors, such as transportation, logistics distribution, and\nmicro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that heavily rely on energy\nprice stability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope this policy becomes part of a long-term strategy to realise\nnational energy sovereignty and public welfare. This is an important\nmomentum to implement Bung Karno\u2019s Trisakti, particularly in achieving\neconomic self-reliance,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>According to Risyad, public welfare must be the top priority so that\nour nation is not easily dictated by global market fluctuations.<\/p>\n<p>DPP GMNI stated that it will continue to monitor public policies and\nact as a constructive critical partner to ensure that every government\nstep remains in the interests of the wider public.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, President Prabowo Subianto emphasised that the government\nis striving to keep subsidised fuel affordable for the public,\nespecially for vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy economic ministers have reported that subsidised fuel will be\nmaintained for the poor and low-income people.
