Jakarta (B2B) - Inflasi 2013 diperkirakan hanya akan meningkat 0,3 percentage point jika harga bahan bakar minyak (BBM) bersubsidi dinaikkan Rp500 per liter.
Direktur Direktorat Riset Ekonomi dan Kebijakan Moneter Bank Indonesia (BI) Perry Warjiyo, mengatakan tambahan sebesar itu jika tidak ada kebijakan penunjang yang meredam inflasi.
Bank Indonesia sejak lama telah melakukan kalkulasi dampak harga BBM tidak akan terlalu besar jika dinaikkan Rp500-Rp1.000 per liter.
"Namun, bank sentral belum menghitung seberapa besar dampak kenaikan harga BBM terhadap inflasi jika ada kebijakan penunjang seperti dana kompensasi," katanya lagi.
Jakarta (B2B) - It is estimated that 2013 inflation will only rise 0.3 percentage points if subsidized fuel oil price is raised by Rp500 per liter.
Director of Economic Research and Monetary Policy Directorate of Bank Indonesia (BI) Perry Warjiyo, said such amount is added if there is no supporting policy which reduces inflation.
Bank Indonesia has long calculated that fuel price will affect slightly if raised by Rp 500 to Rp 1,000 per liter.
"However, the central bank has not calculated how big the effect of fuel price hike towards inflation if there is supporting policy like compensation funds," he said.
