Hormuz Strait and Global Economic Risk and Its Implications for Indonesia
The Hormuz Strait, a narrow 21-nautical-mile waterway between the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea, serves as a critical global energy artery through which approximately 20 million barrels of oil and 20 per cent of global liquefied natural gas transit daily. Disruptions to this chokepoint due to geopolitical tensions can trigger cascading global economic effects, including energy price spikes, cost-push inflation, and increased agricultural costs through the energy-food nexus. Indonesia faces particular vulnerability given its energy import dependence and exposure to inflationary pressures that could affect its economic growth and development targets.

By establishing a complete domestic value chain from nickel mining through battery manufacturing to renewable energy infrastructure, Indonesia can reduce import dependence, strengthen supply chain resilience, and build a competitive technology-driven economy.

Board of Peace and Indonesia's Diplomatic Strategy
This opinion piece analyses Indonesia's decision to join the Board of Peace (BoP), an international forum established in early 2026 to oversee stabilisation in Gaza following a ceasefire, arguing that participation represents an active manifestation of Indonesia's "free and active" foreign policy principle. The author contends that while domestic critics, including the Indonesian Ulema Council, have questioned the move, Indonesia's presence in such strategic forums is essential to influence global decision-making processes and strengthen its position as a moderate, democratic Muslim-majority nation capable of balancing the interests of developing nations and the Muslim world.
