Survei Kelas Menengah Terengah-engah? Peneliti Litbang Kompas Singgung Pertamax-KPR

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV - Who says Pertamax is only used by the upper class? In fact, the middle class and those at risk of poverty contribute significantly to Pertamax consumption, including online motorcycle taxi drivers who are currently struggling to cope with the economic snowball effect. Not only is the price increase for Pertamax increasingly pressing, the middle class is also burdened with mortgage installments. Mortgage installments will increase even further after Bank Indonesia raised the benchmark interest rate to 5.75 percent. A survey by Kompas Research and Development (Libang Kompas) recorded the heaviest economic pressure felt by the middle class. This group has minimal income, the cost of living continues to rise, and they do not receive social assistance.
