摘要：This paper examines a recent change in pricing policies adopted by an Indonesian public
water enterprise, and argues that these policies hurt poor customers. The paper argues
that this inequitable impact on the poor results from the company’s cost inefficiencies,
ineffective regulatory compliance, inappropriate corporate goals and some corrupt
relationships with local politicians and bureaucrats. These corporate deficiencies have
been effectively hidden by the company’s ability to increase revenue by escalating its
prices to customers and paying an increased dividend to its local government owners.
The negative impact on the poor, for whom there is no price subsidy, is substantial.
