        "summary": "The Indonesian government has announced that work-from-home (WFH) policies for civil servants (ASN) and recommendations for the private sector will take effect after Eid al-Fitr, aiming to conserve energy amid rising global oil prices. Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto specified that WFH will apply for one day per week, excluding public service sectors, with coordination involving the Ministries of Manpower and Home Affairs to ensure effective implementation. Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa highlighted potential savings of around 20% in fuel consumption, balancing productivity while potentially boosting domestic and tourism activities through extended weekends.",
        "content": "<p>The government has confirmed that the work-from-home (WFH) policy\nwill begin to be implemented after Eid, as an effort to save energy amid\nthe rise in global oil prices. Coordinating Minister for the Economy\nAirlangga Hartarto stated that this policy applies to civil servants\n(ASN) and is also recommended for the private sector. \u201c(The regulations)\nfor WFH will be detailed. But after Eid, we will implement it. For ASN\nas well as recommendations for the private sector. But not for those\nworking in public service sectors,\u201d Airlangga said when met after Eid\nal-Fitr prayers in Jakarta on Saturday, 21 March 2026, as quoted from\nAntara. Airlangga emphasised that the WFH policy will only apply for one\nday per week. He added that the government will also coordinate with the\nMinistry of Manpower and the Ministry of Home Affairs to ensure\neffective implementation. At the same location, Finance Minister Purbaya\nYudhi Sadewa revealed that implementing WFH for one day can provide\nenergy efficiency impacts, particularly in saving fuel oil (BBM). \u201cThere\nis a rough calculation \u2026 (WFH can save) one-fifth, approximately 20\npercent (of BBM usage),\u201d said Purbaya. Purbaya explained that the reason\nthis policy is only implemented for one day is to maintain a balance\nbetween work flexibility and productivity. \u201cOtherwise, it would be\nholidays all the time. Then no work gets done. Yeah, with WFH, sometimes\nthere are things that can\u2019t be done well with WFH,\u201d he said. Purbaya\nadded that if WFH is implemented for one day, for example on Friday, it\nwill create a longer weekend sequence, namely Friday\u2013Saturday\u2013Sunday.\nThis is seen as able to encourage household activities while providing a\nsmall boost to the tourism sector. Previously, in a cabinet meeting at\nthe State Palace, Jakarta, on Friday, 13 March 2026, President Prabowo\nSubianto encouraged steps to save BBM consumption and consider\nwork-from-home policies as anticipatory measures against the impact of\nthe global crisis. \u201cI ask this to be discussed later, perhaps by the\nCoordinating Ministers, how many days we see. We think about it.\nPreviously, we overcame Covid, we succeeded. And we were able, many\nworked from home, efficiency, meaning we saved a very large amount of\nBBM,\u201d said Prabowo. Several other countries have announced energy-saving\npolicies in response to global uncertainties. Thailand, for example, has\nasked civil servants to work from home to reduce electricity and fuel\nconsumption, limit the use of lifts and escalators, and set room cooling\ntemperatures around 26\u201327 degrees Celsius. The Philippines has\nimplemented a four-day workweek system in the public sector, while\nPakistan is preparing energy-saving plans through distance learning and\nwork-from-home arrangements.<\/p>",
