Fuel Subsidies to Marine Fisheries in Indonesia

The document examines the role of fuel subsidies in Indonesia's marine fisheries sector, noting they are the second-largest and most consistent form of government support. It argues that these subsidies risk incentivizing overfishing and suggests that Indonesia's general experience with fossil fuel subsidy reform could provide a roadmap for reforming fisheries-specific support.

• Fuel subsidies represent the second-largest and most consistent form of government support for Indonesia's marine fisheries sector, with substantial amounts committed annually.
• Fuel subsidies in the fishing sector are considered risky for sustainability because they may encourage overfishing.
• Indonesia's previous experience in reforming general fossil fuel subsidies may offer valuable lessons for reforming fuel subsidies specifically within the marine fisheries sector.
