Road transport accounted for 44% of the transport sector's GDP contribution, and rail accounted for only 1.4%.

Indonesia faced fiscal challenges amid surging crude oil prices and subsidy pressures in 2022
- The price of the Indonesian crude basket increased to an average of USD 99.4 per barrel between January and April 2022, compared to USD 68.5 per barrel in 2021, recording a 45% increase YoY. In the face of a widening gulf between domestic and international prices, state-owned Pertamina adjusted prices of three non-subsidized, high-grade fuel variants - Pertamax Turbo, Dexlite, and Pertamina Dex. After that, the price of unsubsidized Pertamax rose by 39% to USD 0.83 from April, with the fuel types accounting for 16% of total consumption and the rest of the subsidized fuels. By contrast, the prices of commonly used subsidized variants, Pertalite (90) and Premium (88), which accounted for over 80% of consumption, have remained unchanged for the past three years.
- In Q1 2022, total subsidies were up by 80% YoY, of which energy subsidies increased by 55% YoY. Compensation due to PT Pertamina amounted to USD 3.3 billion in 2020, of which USD 1.06 billion was pending, alongside USD 4.56 billion for 2021, which might have been much higher than the budgeted USD 9.32 billion in 2022. Assuming a 20% increase in total subsidies and higher compensation toward the state-owned oil player, a cumulative headroom for 0.4% of GDP will be required of this year's math for the country to remain within the -4.85% target.
- To reduce growing subsidies, the Indonesian government increased subsidized fuel prices by approximately 30% in September 2022 despite the potential risk of mass protests. The price of subsidized gasoline was raised from IDR 7,650 (USD 1.18) per liter to IDR 10,000 (USD 0.67) per liter, while the price of subsidized diesel rose from IDR 5,150 (USD 0.35) per liter to IDR 6,800 (USD 0.46) per liter.
