Widodo hints Indonesia fuel price rise not likely before inauguration 佐科威暗示就任總統前不漲印尼油價

◎顧佳欣

Indonesian president-elect Joko Widodo’s on Thursday said tackling a big fuel subsidy bill will have to wait until his October inauguration, after the outgoing leader indicated conditions were not right to raise fuel prices.

在即將卸任的領導人指出現在情況不適宜調漲油價後，印尼總統當選人佐科威週四表示，要處理鉅額油價補貼法案必須等到他10月的就職典禮之後。

Widodo had hoped to fast-track a fuel price increase to address a widening current account deficit and faltering investor confidence in Southeast Asia’s biggest economy.

佐科威原本希望快速處理調漲油價，以對付增長的經常帳赤字，以及投資人對這東南亞最大經濟體日漸動搖的信心。

Fuel subsidies cost the government about $20 billion a year, or nearly 20 percent of its total budget. But raising fuel prices is a sensitive issue that could spark protests against Widodo’s government just after he takes office.

燃油補助每年花費政府200億美元，將近總預算的20%。但調高油價是個敏感議題，在佐科威上任後，恐引發對其政府的抗議。
