Don’t respond negatively on power tariff hike plan: Finance Minister

Finance Minister Agus Martowardojo has requested Indonesian people to remain positive in responding the government’s plan to raise basic power tariff (TDL) in near future time.

“If the government plans to make some adjustments, please take it positively,” Agus said Wednesday at the House of Representatives as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

Agus said the government would protect small industries and domestic customers over the hike.

“Besides, the hike plan is still in a rough form. We will discuss it further with the House members between this month and October,” he added.
