KolomFakta . Candidate for Vice President number 02 Sandiaga Uno forbade his supporting volunteers from using the term 'cebong' which is often aimed at supporters of Jokowi-Ma'ruf, his political opponent in the 2019 Presidential Election.

FaktaId . Government energy subsidy spending in the 2018 State Budget (APBN) has swelled around Rp59 trillion over the past year. This is because the realization of subsidized fuel, oil and gas and electricity expenditures reached Rp153.5 trillion as of January 2, 2019. In fact, the initial assumption was only Rp.94.5 trillion. Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said that the realization of energy subsidy spending had swelled because there had been an increase in crude oil prices in the world market since the beginning of 2018. "The increase in world crude oil prices makes fuel and LPG subsidies increase from the initial assumption," Ani said, as he was familiarly called, at the Ministry of Finance on Wednesday. In addition, the increase in energy subsidy spending was also affected by the weakening of the rupiah exchange rate. The average rupiah exchange rate of Rp14,247 per US dollar (US) throughout 2018 with a depreciation rate of 6.89 percent. Not to forget, the govern

NasionalIndonesia . Realization of tax revenue in the 2018 State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) missed the target. Recorded, the tax bag only contained Rp1,315.9 trillion per January 2, 2019, equivalent to 92.4 percent of the target of Rp1,424 trillion. Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said tax revenues did not reach the target because non-oil and gas tax revenues only reached Rp1,251.2 trillion or 90.3 percent of the target of Rp1,385.9 trillion. Meanwhile, oil and gas income tax revenues (oil and gas PPh) reached 169.6 percent or Rp64.7 trillion. In fact, the target is only around IDR 38.1 trillion. According to Ani, his nickname, non-oil and gas tax revenues are still low because tax collection from several business sectors actually declined from last year. "The growth of tax revenue from the manufacturing industry grew 11.12 percent, previously 18.28 percent. Then, trade tax revenue was 23.72 percent, previously 25.09 percent," he said, at the Ministry of Fin

PojokId . In the 1980-1990 era, Indonesia might have felt the pleasure of becoming a petroleum producing country. Indonesia's oil production at that time not only helped state revenues, but also helped the trade balance and current account. Unfortunately, this condition cannot last long enough. Oil production has declined, while consumption has increased. As a result, state revenues from oil shrank, while fuel subsidies grew. Not only that, this condition created a trade deficit in oil. In recent years, the oil deficit can no longer even be closed by a surplus on gas. As a result, the oil and gas trade balance also registered a deficit. Institute for Development And Economics And Finance (INDEF) researcher Eko Listiyanto revealed the achievement of revenues and the condition of the oil and gas trade balance were mainly influenced by domestic oil production and world oil prices. "In the past few years, the explosion in commodity prices has ended," Eko said Based on data fr
