As part of its work on energy policy and sustainable development in Indonesia, the Global Subsidies Initiative publishes a regular briefing on issues related to energy subsidies. 

In this edition:

• On 30 March, the Indonesian government announced new prices of subsidized fuels to be applied from 1 April 2016.
   
• The price changes in April are the second round of price adjustments since the government announced in November 2015 that it would evaluate and adjust the price of subsidized fuel every three months.
   
• The government is considering reforming diesel subsidies. A full removal of diesel subsidies is anticipated to save IDR 16 trillion (USD 1.28 billion).
   
• Coal companies are calling on the government to subsidize coal, but are being countered by civil society organizations.
