The Rise of Oil and Electricity Price
The government has declared that fuel price, electricity and telecommunication service rates are increased. This decision was effective since early January 2003. The policy has had good and bad effects and impacts on social situations.
On one hand, the government policy on the increase of prices has good impacts on strengthening the national economy, avoiding smuggling and increasing the competitiveness of national economy. Firstly, the policy has strengthened the national economy. Indonesian economy has so far been much dependent on the oil price. The government has subsidized the price of commodity for domestic use. This is prone to crisis. In other words, the huge amount of subsidy so far has put more burden on national economy. The increase of fuel of price is due to the lift or lessening of the subsidy.
Secondly, the domestic oil price is much lower than that overseas. The consequence, is that smuggling of the commodity overseas from Indonesia is a common practice, particularly by those who are adjacent to the neighboring countries like Malaysia.
Thirdly, the increase of oil price has induced the competitiveness of Indonesian economy.
