Cigarette excised targets have been raised to INR58.3 trillion (US$6.44 billion), an increase of 7% over last year’s revenue, according to a statement by Indonesia’s Finance Minstry. 
“Finance Minister Sri Mulyani (Indrawati) has asked to increase cigarette excise to INR58.3 trillion from an initial target set in the 2010 state budget of INR57.3 trillion rupiah,” said Finance Ministry excise director Bachtiar, quoted in the local media. “The increase in cigarette excise is in line with the government’s aim of controlling cigarette output for health reasons, Bachtiar added. 
Cigarette manufacturers have increased prices “moderately”, according to Indonesian Tobacco People Alliance secretary-general Deradjat Kusumanegara.
“An excessive increase of prices will cause [market] volume to decline and [the number of] illegal cigarettes to rise,” Kusumanegara said.
