The  New  Reform:  Formula  of  Fuel  Prices  •  The  Ministry  of  Energy  and  Natural  Resources  through  the  regula2on  No.  

0219  K/12/MEM/2010  and  No.  3784  K/12/MEM/2014  regulates  the  formula  of  HIP.    

 •  Where  HP  is  benchmark  price;  HIP  is  market  price  index;  and  αi  is  profit  

margin  and  transporta2on  costs;  i  is  the  average  of  previous  month  price.  HIP  follows  the  price  of  MOPS  (Mean  of  Plafs  Singapore).    

•  Adjustment  for  every  two  weeks  at  early  stage,  but  now  becoming  every  six  months  (too  long).  

•  In  order  to  speed  up  the  reform  in  the  oil  and  gas  sector,  the  Government  of  Indonesia  had  formed  a  special  taskforce  namely  Oil  and  Gas  Reform  Team  (December  2014-­‐May  2015).
