The Indonesian government has implemented several subsidy programs for the public amidst an unstable economic climate caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Two types of subsidies are provided. First, direct cash subsidies, limited to those in need.

Second, subsidies in the form of price controls on goods, generally accessible to all segments of society. Fuel subsidies (BBM), for example, fall under this category.

According to a survey by Indikator Politik Indonesia, the majority of Indonesians believe that price subsidies are more appropriate than direct cash subsidies, with 58.6% expressing this view.

“The majority find price subsidies more suitable, making them more affordable and beneficial for all citizens,” the survey report states.

In contrast, only 37.9% of respondents considered direct cash subsidies appropriate. 3.6% responded with “don’t know/no answer.”

This survey was conducted via telephone interviews from August 25-31, 2022, involving 1,219 respondents aged 17 and above or married, across Indonesia.

Sample selection utilized random digit dialing (RDD), involving random telephone number generation, validation, and screening. The survey's margin of error is estimated at approximately 2.9% at a 95% confidence level, assuming simple random sampling.
