Benar-benar membingungkan. Inilah barangkali suasana yang secara umum dirasakan masyarakat Indonesia saat ini bila mereka ditanya tentang tarik-ulur kenaikan harga BBM (Bahan Bakar Minyak). Begitu banyak wacana dan diskusi telah berlangsung di berbagai media dengan para pakar dari berbagai bidang, namun kepastian apakah harga BBM bersubsidi (premium dan solar) akan dinaikkan atau disesuaikan semakin menunjukkan ketidakjelasan. Sebelumnya, pemerintah mewacanakan kenaikan BBM bersubsidi pada 1 April 2013 yang kemudian dikoreksi. Kalangan industri dan bisnis juga telah lama mendesak agar harga BBM segera dinaikkan. Beberapa waktu lalu, menteri ESDM Jero Wacik telah mengisyaratkan bahwa kenaikan harga BBM tak dapat ditunda lebih lama lagi. Tenggat waktu yang ditetapkan pemerintah adalah 1 Juni 2013. Lagi-lagi tenggat waktu ini terlampaui dan harga BBM bersubsidi tetap saja Rp. 4.500.

Alasan pemerintah menunda kenaikan ini terutama disebabkan belum ditemukan kesepakatan dengan DPR mengenai kompensasi yang akan diberikan kepada rakyat miskin yang terkena dampak kenaikan ini. Rencanya setiap keluarga miskin akan mendapat kompensasi sebesar Rp. 150 ribu per bulan untuk menyokong mahalnya kebutuhan hidup akibat dari kenaikan yang diprediksi bakal membebani hidup mereka. Kompensasi yang berupa “balsem” (bantuan langsung sementara) ini akan diberikan kepada 15,5 juta kepala keluarga miskin selama lima bulan. Apa pun yang telah disiapkan pemerintah, ketidakpastian kenaikan harga BBM bersubsidi ini tidak hanya semakin menyengsarakan rakyat miskin, rakyat yang tergolong cukup pun menjadi korban kebijakan yang mencla-mencle ini. Keraguan dan ketidaktegasan pemerintah dalam kebijakan harga BBM bersubsidi ini berdampak bagi rakyat dan bagi para pelaku usaha.

Bagi rakyat secara umum, dampak dari ketidakpastian harga BBM ini adalah ketidakpastian harga kebutuhan pokok. Saat ini, karena rumor bahwa harga BBM bersubsidi akan naik, harga kebutuhan pokok dan sekunder lain sudah lebih dulu naik. Sejak awal tahun 2013 ini, hampir semua produk barang telah “menyesuaikan” harganya karena mengantisipasi kenaikan harga BBM. Harga barang yang telah menyesuaikan ini tidak pernah bertenggang rasa dengan kemampuan rakyat meskipun kenaikan BBM ditunda. Setelah harga BBM dinaikkan, harga kebutuhan dan produk rumah tangga lain akan semakin mahal karena produsen memiliki alasan pembenaran untuk menaikkan harga. Secara psikologis, kenaikan harga kebutuhan primer akan mendorong pula naiknya harga kebutuhan sekunder. Padahal penghasilan dan pendapatan rakyat tidak bertambah. Saat ini saja, pengeluaran kebutuhan rumah tangga telah dirasakan begitu menekan. Apalagi puasa dan lebaran sebentar lagi tiba, harga-harga kebutuhan konsumsi seperti telur, ayam, cabai, dan daging pasti akan semakin tak terjangkau. Kenaikan harga barang-barang kebutuhan ini tentu sangat memberatkan rakyat.

Secara khusus bagi rakyat miskin yang berjumlah lebih dari 35 juta orang (15,5 juta KK), penundaan kenaikan harga BBM bersubsidi ini semakin menyengsarakan mereka. Hampir semua harga kebutuhan pokok saat ini sudah tak terjangkau, sedangkan mereka belum mendapat “balsam” yang mereka tunggu-tunggu. Dengan “balsem” yang tak segera mereka dapatkan, mereka akan semakin terpuruk ke jurang kemiskinan yang semakin dalam. Semakin lama pemerintah menunda kenaikan BBM bersubsidi, semakin lama pula penderitaan rakyat miskin yang paling rentan terhadap kenaikan harga barang.

Bagi pelaku usaha, ketidakpastian harga BBM bersubsidi ini akan menimbulkan kesulitan mereka dalam merencanakan dan memprediksi usaha mereka. Ketidakpastian ini membuat mereka mengambil langkah antisipatif yang paling aman: menaikkan harga barang. Dunia usaha dan perdagangan tentu tidak menginginkan kerugian akibat dari kenaikan harga BBM ini. Karena itu, mereka curi start terlebih dulu dengan menaikkan harga produk mereka sebagai antisipasi atas mahalnya biaya BBM yang nanti akan mereka tanggung.

Persoalan BBM memang menjadi buah simalakama bagi Indonesia. Tidak naik, APBN akan jebol dan subsidinya semakin membebani keuangan negara. Naik, rakyat menjerit. Memang bukan kebijakan yang populer untuk menaikkan harga BBM bersubsidi. Tetapi ketegasan dan kepastian pemerintah patut dipertanyakan. Tanpa dua hal ini, BBM akan semakin Benar Benar Memiskiskan rakyat.

Really confusing. This is perhaps the atmosphere generally perceived the current Indonesia community when they asked about the pull of the trade-off price increases of FUEL (fuel oil). So much of the discourse and discussions have been taking place in various media with experts from different fields, but the certainty of whether the subsidized fuel prices (premium and diesel) will be raised or adjusted increasingly shows the obscurity. Previously, the Government subsidized fuel price hike mewacanakan on 1 April 2013 which was later corrected. Industrial and business circles have also long urged that fuel prices immediately raised. Some time ago, Minister of MINERAL RESOURCES Jero Wacik has hinted that rising fuel prices could not be delayed any longer. The Government set a deadline was June 1, 2013. Yet another deadline is exceeded and subsidized fuel prices still Rp 4,500.The reason the Government is delaying the increase is mainly due to not yet found agreement with the HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES regarding the compensation to be given to poor people who are affected by this increase. Rencanya every poor families will receive compensation amounting to Rp 150 thousand per month to support the expensive necessities of life as a result of the increase in predicted would overwhelm their lives. Compensation in the form of "balm" (direct aid while) this will be given to 15.5 million poor families for five months. Anything that has been prepared by the Government, subsidized fuel prices increases uncertainty is not only increasingly miserable people and the poor people who belong to any victim enough of policy mencla-mencle this. Doubt and indecision within the Government subsidized fuel price policy affects for the people and for the businessmen.For the people in General, the impact of the fuel price uncertainty is the uncertainty of prices of basic commodities. Currently, because of rumors that subsidized fuel prices going up, the price of basic necessities and other secondary was first up. Since the beginning of 2013, nearly all products of goods have been "adjusting" the price is due to the anticipated increase in fuel prices. The price of goods that has adapted this never bertenggang people's sense of its capabilities, despite the fuel price hike was postponed. After the price of fuel was increased, the price needs and other household products will be more expensive because manufacturers have an excuse of justification for raising prices. Psychologically, the rising prices of basic needs will drive the rise in the price of the secondary needs anyway. Whereas the people's income and earnings did not increase. Currently, the expenditure needs of the households have felt so pressing. Moreover, fasting and lebaran offing arrived, the prices of necessities such as consumption of eggs, chicken, chili, and the meat will certainly be increasingly unattainable. Rising prices of goods is certainly very aggravating people.In particular for the poor, which amounted to more than 35 million people (15.5 million FAMILIES), the subsidized FUEL price increase delays is increasingly fall upon them. Almost all of the prices of basic commodities are now unattainable, while they haven't gotten "balsam" they been waiting for. With "balm" that do not immediately they get, they'll be worse to the brink of poverty are deeper. The longer Government delayed the subsidized fuel price hike, the longer the plight of the poor who are most vulnerable to the rising prices of goods. For businessmen, the subsidized fuel price uncertainty it will cause their difficulties in planning and predicting their efforts. This uncertainty makes them take anticipative steps the safest: raise the price of goods. The world of business and trade certainly didn't want the losses resulting from the increase in the price of fuel it. Therefore, they steal start first by raising the prices of their products in anticipation of expensive FUEL costs that will be their responsibility.The issue of FUEL did become the fruit's choice for Indonesia. Do not climb, the STATE BUDGET will be broken and the increasingly burdensome financial subsidinya State. Rise, people screaming. It is not a popular policy to raise subsidized fuel prices. But the firmness and certainty of questionable Government. Without these two things, fuel will be increasingly true true Memiskiskan people.
