Get Ready! Government Prepares Special Sweetener to Boost Citizens' Purchasing Power

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartanto has revealed that the government is preparing a stimulus package in response to the rise in fuel prices, particularly after the increase in Pertamax prices as of Wednesday (10/6/2026).

“We are currently preparing the stimulus,” Airlangga told reporters at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs on Wednesday (10/6/2026).

Airlangga added that he is still monitoring the impact of today’s Pertamax price increase, especially regarding inflation. “We will observe the inflationary impact through transport and prices. We are monitoring it first,” Airlangga continued.

However, it is not yet known when the stimulus will be disbursed. The details have also not been explained, as they must first be reported to President Prabowo Subianto, pending his approval. “Once a decision is made, it will be announced. We must report to the President first,” Airlangga clarified.
