Yogyakarta (Antara Bali) - The government`s plan to increase the electricity tariff by 15 percent this year should be evaluated, said the director of the Indonesian Craft Industry Development Association.
"If the planned power tariff increase is unavoidable, the government should evaluate it after implementing the first stage," director of the Indonesian Craft Industry Development Association, Amir Panzuri said here on Sunday.
The evaluation is aimed to avoid the psychological impact against the price of other commodities, he said.
"The government is expected to prevent the psychological impact from happening that may trigger other commodities price hike," he said.
According to him, the electricity tariff increase does not only impact the major industries, but it will also affect the small-and-medium scale industries (UKM). (IGT/T007)
