No extra budget for fuel subsidy

According to the Coordinating Economic Minister Hatta Rajasa, the Indonesian government is unlikely to provide additional funds to cope with a surge in the use of the fuel subsidy this year. Hatta said that subsidized fuel consumption might reach 38 million kiloliters this year, exceeding the 36.5 million kiloliters set in the revised 2010 state budget. (September 27, 2010)
