Indonesia proposes slight rise in 2023 energy subsidies

JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's government has proposed to parliament that it will spend 210.7 trillion rupiah ($14.27 billion) on energy subsidies in 2023, up slightly from the 208.9 trillion rupiah budget for 2022, according to a copy of the proposal seen by Reuters on Tuesday.

The document did not mention the compensation budget for state energy firms. The government has allocated a total of 502 trillion rupiah of energy subsidies and compensations for 2022 in order to keep some fuel prices and energy tariffs unchanged.
