New government Regulation
The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has issued regulation Peraturan Menteri No 21/2018 to tighten
control over the pricing of non-subsidized fuels, due to inflationary concerns. Under the new regulation, all fuel
distributors must obtain the minister’s approval before increasing the prices of gasoline and non-subsidized
petroleum products. This regulation impacts most on the unsubsidized higher octane gasoline, while industrial fuel
and aviation products are exempted. Industrial fuel accounts for approximately 90% of our current petroleum
volume while unsubsidized gasoline accounts less than 5%.
AKRA sees long-term opportunities in the un-subsidized gasoline market due growing number of newer vehicles
that requires higher octane gasoline and low penetration rate of petrol stations. Our JV with BP aims to open its
first non-subsidized petrol station in 2H18.
