On the one hand, the government must raise fuel prices because if it does not, the country will suffer a relatively large foreign exchange shortage. This would be a detrimental investment in the long term. However, on the other hand, it means that the economic burden borne by the people will become heavier, such as the emergence of a domino effect, an increase in the prices of basic necessities, and a decline in their purchasing power. For the middle and upper economic classes, this may not be felt. However, for the majority of the lower classes, the increase in fuel prices is tantamount to dragging them deeper into the abyss of economic helplessness. This was summarized in an interactive dialogue with the theme ” Raises Oil Issue and The Effect for Our Macro Economics, which was organized by the Widyatama University Student Government (Pema Mahasiswa) on Saturday, February 25, 2006, in the Seminar Room on the 6th floor of the Widyatama building, Jl. Cikutra 204 A Bandung, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The event featured the Head of UPMS (Marketing Unit) III Bandung Branch, Gandi Sriwidodo, Head of Public Relations of UPMS (Marketing Unit) III Bandung, Edi Adrian. Head of the Bandung Industry and Trade Office, Drs. H. Ernawan Natasapura, M.Si; Member of the Indonesian House of Representatives Commission 7 (confirmation); Moderator: Economic Reporter for Tribun Jabar, Dade Syamsul Rais.
