BBM Increase!!

Today's headline of Kompas, Vice president JK confirm that at the end of May, gasoline price will be inrceased.
The increase predicted around 30 %. It means the price will be around 5,800 to 6,000 IDR.

For some people, this incremental will be very imposed their life since all the commodities price will be affected. While for rich people this issue wont effect anything.

I realize that government have very tough position in this case. One side, they have to maintain expenditure's bugdet (APBN) while on the other side they must consider multiplier effect of this policy.

In my opinion, this policy should be implemented paralelly with the policy to reduce unnecessary government's expense. For instance, the government can cut routine budget for legislative persons such as unnecessary "jobs" visit to some remote areas.

Surely, this decision will raise prons and cons from many counterparts. For the opposition's, this will be a big chance to build negative opinion for the governments. For business people, this decision could be an opportunity or just a burden.

How about you ? Which side do you join?

Bye.
