        "summary": "Eko Listiyanto from Indef has described the adjustment of non-subsidised fuel prices in Indonesia as a reasonable measure in a market-based energy system, reflecting the current upward trend in global oil prices. He notes that while the increase may feel significant to consumers, its macroeconomic impact remains limited due to the relatively small segment of users. However, it could prompt a shift towards lower-octane fuels like Pertamax to manage household expenses.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA \u2013 Director of Development at the Institute for Development of\nEconomics and Finance (Indef), Eko Listiyanto, described the adjustment\nof non-subsidised fuel prices as a reasonable step in a market-based\nenergy system, particularly amid the trend of rising global oil prices.\nEko stated that this mechanism reflects price movements that follow\ninternational dynamics. \u201cIn general, the increase in non-subsidised fuel\nis quite high for consumers, although the calculation is also based on\nthe current high international oil prices,\u201d Eko said when contacted by\nRepublika in Jakarta on Sunday (19\/4\/2026). From a macroeconomic\nperspective, Eko assessed the impact of the non-subsidised fuel price\nincrease as relatively limited. Eko emphasised that the segment of users\nof this type of fuel is not very large, so its influence on the overall\neconomy and industrial sectors remains minimal. \u201cFrom the consumption\nside, consumers of that type of fuel are actually relatively small, so\nthe overall impact on the economy and industry is still minimal,\u201d he\nsaid. Nevertheless, Eko warned that this price increase has the\npotential to drive changes in consumer behaviour. Users of\nnon-subsidised fuel, he said, are likely to start considering\nalternatives with lower octane numbers (Research Octane Number\/RON) to\nreduce spending. \u201cSo, it will certainly make consumers accustomed to\nusing that type of fuel at least start considering non-subsidised fuels\nwith lower RON, such as Pertamax,\u201d Eko added. Eko also mentioned that\nthe adjustment of non-subsidised fuel prices will be felt by consumers,\nespecially in large-volume purchases. This situation could accelerate\nthe shift to fuels with lower RON as a form of household budget\nadjustment. \u201cHowever, given the quite high increase, generally for large\nconsumption, such as a full tank, consumers are very likely to switch to\nlower RON,\u201d Eko said.<\/p>",
