President Prabowo Subianto will lead a Cabinet session at the\nPresidential Palace, Central Jakarta, this afternoon. Before the\nsession, Prabowo and members of the Red and White Cabinet will make\nzakat contributions through the National Zakat Agency.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, that\u2019s correct. So today there will be a Cabinet session\nregarding Eid readiness at 4 p.m. Jakarta time. It will begin with an\nevent for cabinet members to pay zakat funds to the National Zakat\nAgency at the State Palace, around 3 p.m. Jakarta time,\u201d Cabinet\nSecretary Teddy Indra Wijaya told reporters on Friday (13 March\n2026).<\/p>\n
The specific directives from Prabowo in this cabinet session have not\nyet been disclosed. However, Indonesia\u2019s economy continues to be\naffected by global geopolitical conditions. The escalating conflict in\nthe Middle East has caused volatility in global oil prices.<\/p>\n
This will impact Indonesia\u2019s already-mounting energy subsidy burden.\nOn the other hand, there remains potential for increased state revenue\nthrough windfall gains from rising export commodity prices.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia\nhas stated that Indonesia\u2019s fuel stocks remain in secure condition for\nthe next 23 days. Bahlil noted that rising fuel prices will increase the\nsubsidy burden.<\/p>\n
The government is still calculating the exact amount of additional\nsubsidies that will be determined, given the continued fluctuation in\nglobal oil prices.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far we have not calculated precisely the subsidy budget,\u201d Bahlil\nsaid at the Presidential Palace yesterday.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/cabinet-session-on-eid-readiness-to-proceed-this-afternoon-says-cabinet-secretary-teddy-1773384753", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
