Domestic Update
The Indonesian government is evaluating certain natural gas price (HGBT) policies outlined in Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No. 121 of 2020 concerning the Determination of Natural Gas Prices. MNCS Comment: Currently, this Presidential Regulation has set gas prices at USD6/MMBtu for seven industries, including fertilizer, petrochemical, oleochemical, steel, ceramic, glass and rubber gloves industries. With the implementation of this policy, Minister of Industry, Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, has observed a threefold multiplier effect. This is evidenced by the total value of HGBT issued for electricity from 2021 to 2023, amounting to IDR51.04 trillion, resulting in an added value for the national economy of IDR157.2 trillion. Hence, the minister is proposing the expansion of this HGBT policy to 24 other manufacturing sub-sectors.
