Market and logistical disruptions have kept Brent crude hovering around US$94 per barrel, which is US$24 higher than the baseline assumption used in the 2026 state budget (APBN).However, this challenging situation also presents a timely opportunity for subsidy reform. To that end, the World Bank outlined a three-step reform strategy for the government to follow. The first step involves gradually adjusting fuel prices and announcing these changes well in advance. This measure aims to narrow the gap between subsidized rates and real market prices.\nThe second recommendation focuses on rolling out targeted cash transfers to the poorest 40 percent of households to cushion the economic blow. According to the World Bank, the monthly financial assistance required would not create a major fiscal burden, as it would account for only 10 percent of the total savings generated from the subsidy cuts.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe final phase of the strategy is a transparent reallocation of the remaining subsidy savings into social protection programs, public infrastructure investments, and livelihood support for vulnerable groups.The fiscal savings generated through this phased approach are projected to accumulate over time, reaching an equivalent of 1.3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) within the first two years, and eventually rising to 2.1 percent once the price adjustments are fully implemented.The World Bank recommends gradual implementation, clear public communication, and a robust delivery system powered by the Single National Socio-Economic Data (DTSEN) framework.Ultimately, the government must clearly and transparently account for how the fuel subsidy savings are being reinvested in order to foster the public trust necessary to uphold the reforms.Read: World Bank Forecasts Slower Economic Growth for IndonesiaClick here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google News","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.44.0","shortVersion":"4.44.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2643425832","isCrawlerRequest":true}
