Indonesia's proactive economic measures, including significant savings and fuel-saving policies, aim to stabilize its economy amidst rising global oil prices caused by the Middle East conflict. This could positively impact investor confidence in Indonesia's economic resilience, while the broader geopolitical tensions involving the United States, Israel, and Iran continue to create uncertainty in global energy markets.
Indonesia is planning to save up to 80 trillion rupiah (US$4.7 billion) to protect its economy from the impacts of the Middle East conflict, which has led to soaring global oil prices due to strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran and Iran's retaliatory actions. President Prabowo Subianto and presidential spokesman Prasetyo Hadi confirmed these efforts, which include curbing energy consumption, boosting renewable energy production, and considering a one-day remote work policy for government and public sector employees. These measures are part of Prabowo Subianto's goal to increase Indonesia's economic growth rate from 5.1% to 8% by 2029, fueled by public spending. The government has stated that its free meals program and fuel subsidies will remain untouched.
