Kajian Dampak Penghapusan BBM Pertalite terhadap Profitabilitas PT Pertamina Tahun 2021

Abstract

Energy Fuel Oil (BBM) is one of the most needed by the community. Its use as a vehicle transportation fuel makes the level of fuel consumption high. Pertalite as one type of fuel PT.Pertamina with Octane 90 dominates fuel consumption, this is because the quality of the fuel is cleaner than premium and the selling price is cheaper than Pertamax. However, the government is discussing the elimination of BBM below Octane 91 starting in 2022, namely Premium and Pertalite. The elimination strategy is a simplification of product variants and complies with the Regulation of the Minister of Forestry and Environment (KLHK) Number P.20/Menlhk/Setjen/Kum.1/3/2017 which regulates the issue of quality standards for new types of motor vehicle exhaust emissions for motorized vehicles four or more wheels. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the elimination of Pertalite fuel on the profitability of PT.Pertamina in 2022. The method of this research was descriptive qualitative using a literature review. The results show that the elimination of Pertalite will create high inflation and will suppress the profitability of PT.Pertamina. Inflation will have a positive impact on Pertamina's profitability although it is not significant. This happens because consumers are forced to buy products or goods that are sold because part of the basic needs will still be purchased even though the price rises.
