Pertamina retail marketing director Mas'ud Khamid said in a press statement on Friday afternoon that the adjustment would come into effect starting Saturday.
"The new prices will be adjusted on Jan. 5 at 12 am. [...] We will continue to evaluate the fuel prices periodically in accordance with the trend of global crude price and the rupiah exchange rate in the global market ," he said.
Pertamina further said that in some regions the adjustment could be different as a result of regional fuel taxes. (yan)
