REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – Government’s plan to increase the basic tariff of electricity (TDL) in 2013 was not an appropriate step, the Analyst of Institute for Economic Studies, Research and Development (LP3E) Ina Primina said. The increasing tariff, she said, could impede the industry amid the deficit of trade in Indonesian economic situation.

Yet, government plans to export industrial products instead of raw materials. The increasing price of TDL can hamper their plan to expand business amid the efforts to succeed domestic market.

Government plans to increase TDL on 10 percent gradually in 2013. Government assumes that the increasing price can save the budget in around 12 trillion IDR.
