Prabowo Subianto-Hatta Rajasa

Prabowo has spoken about the targeted fuel subsidy, to ensure that even if there are still subsidies, they should be targeted to those who really need it.

Given that Indonesian fossil fuel reserves will be depleted in a few years time, Prabowo would like to see renewable and other alternative energy such as geothermal, hydropower and biofuel be developed more vigorously. He proposed that huge areas that have suffered massive deforestation should be developed for biofuel development.

Prabowo proposing to increase the budget for agriculture to 10 percent of the total from current 3 percent.

The manifesto rejects privatization of state-owned enterprises, reject trade liberalization and is in favor of more protection in trade policies.
