        "summary": "The Indonesian government is planning to restrict the purchase of subsidised Pertalite fuel for the top two income brackets, desil 9 and 10, to ensure subsidies are better targeted. The restriction will apply to luxury vehicles but not to motorcycles, according to Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia. The policy aims to reduce the burden of the multi-trillion rupiah subsidy on the state budget.",
        "content": "<p>The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Finance and the\nMinistry of Energy and Mineral Resources, is designing a policy to\nrestrict the purchase of subsidised Pertalite fuel (RON 90) for certain\ngroups. The restriction will target the upper economic classes,\nspecifically desil 9 (upper-middle class) and desil 10 (upper\nclass).<\/p>\n<p>Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa stated that the government is\nstudying the implementation system and noted that Pertamina\u2019s system is\nalready quite robust and ready to support the policy. The plan is to\nimplement the restriction gradually.<\/p>\n<p>Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia added that the\npolicy aims to ensure subsidies, which amount to hundreds of trillions\nof rupiah, are received by those who are truly entitled. He confirmed\nthat motorcycles will not be subject to the restriction and will\ncontinue to be allowed to purchase Pertalite as usual. The restriction\nis specifically aimed at luxury vehicles, such as BMWs and\nMercedes-Benz, which are considered inappropriate recipients of\nsubsidised fuel.<\/p>",
