El John News, Jakarta – The government will have to add subsidy budget and energy compensation to Rp500 trillion in 2026. It's a significant rise compared to early allocation in income and state shopping APBN) which is only Rp338 trillion.
Nazara's financial minister revealed that budget adjustments were made after the government noticed the growing price of crude oil continues to increase. It has a direct impact on the weight that the state has to bear to maintain the stability of energy prices in the country.
"It was inside APBN the original we have Rp338 trillion. When a semester's report, we raise it to Rp500 trillion, "A result in the KSSK IV Results Conference in 2026 at the Indonesian Bank Building Jakarta Central, Tuesday (3 / 11 / 2026).
According to the results, one of the main factors that drives budget swelling is an increase in Indonesian crude oil prices or English Crude Price (ICP). In APBN the previous government established the assumption that the price of oil was $70 AS a barrel.
However, the realization of oil prices moves far beyond that assumption. Until late October 2026, the average ICP has reached about 93 dollars AS a barrel. The condition is increasing the pressure on the state budget as it occurs along with the melting of the exchange rate.
The result is, the value of the exchange is at Rp17.508 per dollar range AS The combination between the higher oil prices and the kurst emission makes the energy supply cost and the government's compensation obligations improve.
That budget of Rp500 trillion is now the government's reference to paying off subsidies and energy compensation to two state-owned businesses BUMN), which is PT Pertamina (brasero) and PT PLN (Brasero).
The government itself has funded Rp333.9 trillion to both companies by October 30, 2026. Meanwhile, the payment obligation for the November and December period will still be completed gradually by considering budget availability.
Results make sure the government will do a thorough calculation once the budget year is over. The calculations will eventually be delivered through federal financial reports and reports APBN published periodically.
"By the end of the year we'll be doing a complete calculation of what this year will be. We'll send it to you in the government's financial reports and reports as well APBN we routinely, "study results.
Thus, the final scale of subsidies and energy compensation throughout 2026 will still be determined based on the realization of government obligations until the end of the year. This increase in budget reflects the weight of global energy prices against the state's financials.
