Inflation Bites Harder as RI Braces

For Ballooning transportation cost

THE PROBLEM
The price of gasoline in Indonesia rose steadily
from year to year till September 2022. Although
Indonesia supplies the raw materials needed to
produce the gasoline/gas, there isn't enough of
it to supply fuel for everyone to use, hence
Indonesia must import fuel from other nations.
But because the availability of fuel and the raw
materials used is decreasing year after year,
making them more limited, as their prices are
rising.
 Not only because fuel/oil are
decreasing but it could also be to do
with the previous pandemic, since the
demand for oil fell so too as the
supplies then when the pandemic
began to ease up again people started
to get more money and also start to
travel more. But there's a bit of a
problem, oil/fuel supplies are starting
to rise, but the recent war in Ukraine
made some countries stop buying
fuels from Russia and because of this
some countries might turn to
Indonesia in buying their fuels.
 The connection of the
problem to migration:
Because of this problem,
the people might be able
to migrate not by personal
vehicles, but by public
transportation. There might
also be less people who
migrate in this period of
time. Or they don’t care
and just buy the gas
without hesitation.
What did the government
do: Because of the
inflation on the gas
prices, the government
provide subsidy, by using
the APBN, but as the
population of Indonesia is
not small, they took out
too much from the APBN
and more than they
thought they would, so
they stopped the subsidy
program.
How to Resolve this Problem?
How to resolve this problem (if needed):
•Motivate the society to use public transportation
•Since Indonesia provides the basic raw materials to make
the fuel and exports it, why not try to make our own fuel,
then export it. This can decrease the inflation in the price
of the gas.
•Rather than buying new cars that use gas, we can
choose to buy the electric one to save more money from
gas.
