only to have it washed away. the cruel reality of pakistan's catastrophic floods. and the millions of people affected ah, i've been visible, i'm glad you could join us. thousands of people have been taking to the streets of indonesia biggest cities. there's widespread anger and despair. how to cope with soaring inflation, afford a meal, pay for fuel to demonstrate as a demanding another increase in the minimum wage for next year. trade unions on the protests could continue until december and could include strikes fuel price hikes, make ice cream. that's the message students here in the province of ha, one to send to their government. all across indonesia, labor unions, and student states protests against higher fuel prices,

even occupying the regional parliament in archer is a huge burden. it would normally cost $1.00 euro 40 to use public transport for the holding obama. now it's only good for one way trip to school. many of our parents catch fish for a living and depend on cheap fuel price lapses, what i can margin, but if the fuel prices stay high, the price of groceries will go up june. people's income is still very low, shall we demand the government to reverse the decision of the money. the indonesian government has artificially kept fuel prices low for decades. the recent hike, the 1st in 8 years, raised the price of gasoline by about 30 percent. the government argues it had no choice, they say the cost of state subsidies has already tripled this year, driven by soaring global energy prices. now, ordinary people will have to deal with the consequences. this is though, worse moment to increase the fuel price, because as we see there's, there's

a purchasing powers still recover from the pandemic of the 2 years. and the impact of the fuel price is not only affecting transport, is not only affecting manufacturing for them, but also our faculty. $64000000.00 small, medium and the price to fuel brands to receive state subsidies. initially, they were only intended for the poor, but everybody uses them. the government now acknowledges that develop subsidies was not well targeted. apparently 70 percent of the cheap fuel has benefited middle and upper classes rather than low income indonesians. a cash handout equivalent to 10 euros is now supposed to cushion the impact of the price hike on millions of poor families. the big question is, will this be enough to quell the anger in southeast asia? largest economy has run is an economist with a set of for indonesia policy studies in jakarta. welcome to dw news, asia,

governments around the world as subsidizing energy costs. indonesia is taking those subsidies away. why? because it had been a huge part in the nation. national budget, we know that there has been increase in the global oil prices in the beginning. what that intended to, but because i'm assuming be saturday, july agency. so in the, in the major mentioned by the function for subsidy is the always the price to be like the $3.00 us dollar. but when the oil run increased, more than $100.00, and then you've already been huge. but nobody's been, i've been goldman and they don't enjoy it anymore. so that's why i think they take out the problems. so the systems become on affordable,

but i find it interesting that they're only just working out now that a lot of these subsidies weren't going to the right people. we can ration every time i, every time they go about subsidies, people are the people we will get the benefit from that. but we cannot the pickup is because of the assumption if you would like to put the bridges, but to get to obtain the subsidies just like the people we have to like, i mean the money story in, in, in the gas station you just have to put more control in it, like you, you want to get stations. so the people, i mean, the rich people cannot get the subsidies. but when you fix the people, the people will be affected more because not only affected how they will get it, they get it or are diffused what will face consumption as well

because the full price will be everything in asia will increase because of the subsidy. it will be affected, the people that will in denisia already has one of the highest property rights in the world at 9 and a half percent. could all of this back fire because these sorts of protests have brought down governments before in indonesia, every time they go over the field, they're always caught this because it will take there for people, for people in the l o k b, or data or consumption or food consumption, like 50 percent of the budget for food consumption. and now when it has been reduced by the golf course, the food price. no, they don't really increase and it will have favorite food because they will have to spend more money to buy the food. and yeah, we can be maybe in the future. i mean,

if we cannot predict what was happening right now, because i've been talking about the big a little bit longer. calculated needed. i showed that the pharmacy level or the number of people in the property like we did in the next month. how can i ask you, is it time for a rethink in indonesia, how public transportation and transportation is done? because average fuel consumption in indonesia is 13 percent above the global average because of the millions of motor vehicles that zip through the cities. well yeah, regarding the bobby competition, most people are using a cycle in the league, especially for, for a station like boss,

people use it and also a people use it. but in another crossings, like in a matter, people use their own site. so when the prices p a petition, maybe they will use us, but i think people with in, in, in, in a lot at stake, environmentally and health wise for the indonesians and also asians. what else has, what i thank you very much for being on d. w.
