Abstract

Abstract

Energy subsidies, electricity and fuel , has become frightening for decision makers in the Republic of Indonesia. Government troubled not only by the complexity of designing and determining development priorities in the preparation of the budget bill, but also with the amount of subsidies - especially fuel - to be borne every year. Therefore, the government has agreed with Parliament to abolish fuel subsidies gradually. Nonetheless, kerosene subsidies are excluded . In other words, even after applying the market price for petrol and diesel, the government still subsidizes kerosene for both low-income and small industries.

Kerosene to gas by the government is a very complex problem occurred in the implementation. The issue of fuel is an issue that has always faced by any ruler of the country, although the policies are always applied or tested , it is always the question never answered or resolved in its implementation significantly, and have not been able to get the final word.

Alternatives can be run in accordance with the policies taken by the government in this case ; " kerosene to gas " is still the government provide compensation to those affected directly, by way of capital disbursement. Other policy alternatives, the government can also make capital disbursement of credit small and medium enterprises as a way of alleviating poverty in these areas are still lagging. Another alternative is the establishment of policies and the development of government policies or programs that have goals for the welfare of the community, should be developed and implemented asymmetrically. That is  a program can not be applied uniformly to diverse target groups.
