JAKARTA, May 15 (Reuters) - Indonesia's government will raise subsidised fuel prices by as much as 30 percent, Information Minister Muhammad Nuh told a news conference on Thursday.
Indonesia, which has some of the lowest fuel prices in Asia, provides heavy subsidies for fuel that help shield consumers from the market price of crude.
But surging energy and food prices have been pushing up the subsidy bill and driving up inflation.
