Jakarta, Thekabarnews.com—President Prabowo Subianto has told the Kabinet Merah Putih to plan for Indonesia’s fuel shortage.
People are discussing letting individuals work from home (WFH) and working fewer days. Such measures would help cut down on gasoline utilization.
President Prabowo addressed everyone during a full cabinet meeting at the Istana Negara on Friday, March 13.
During the conversation, the president talked about what is going on in Europe and the Middle East right now. He said that issues in such areas might have an effect on energy markets all across the world. Therefore, these issues could cause gas prices to rise.
“We are dealing with changes happening all throughout the world, but especially in Europe and the Middle East. These changes will affect us because they may raise or lower gas prices. Fuel prices may also impact food prices,” Prabowo added.
President Prabowo said that higher gas prices might affect the economy even more. This scenario is especially the case when it comes to basic needs like food.
Prices for basic goods normally go higher when the costs of transportation and production go up. These factors could change how much money people spend.
Prabowo told his ministers to look into a number of ways to make things run more smoothly. For example, he mentioned programs that may cut down on daily commutes and the country’s fuel use.
The government offered items like shortened workweeks and the option to work from home as part of their emergency preparedness.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people used the same strategies, which helped them move less and consume less energy.
Because Indonesia relies on fuel imports and the way international markets work, economists say the country is still vulnerable to changes in global energy prices.
Officials indicated that the government is closely monitoring global developments. At the same time, they are devising strategies to maintain economic stability.
People have asked the cabinet to look at whether work-from-home restrictions or changes to work schedules are possible and what their effects on the economy would be. But a final decision has not yet been made.
Indonesia may handle changes in the global energy market better if they start getting ready now. This step is especially important because wars between countries are still hurting oil supply lines all across the world.
