        "summary": "Indonesian construction firms are facing mounting operational costs as the weakening rupiah and rising diesel prices push material costs up by 8 to 15 per cent. The national contractors' association Gapensi is urging the government to provide support through contract value adjustments and regulatory flexibility. The group also welcomed the government's push for greater private sector involvement in infrastructure projects across the regions.",
        "content": "<p>Global economic and geopolitical turmoil, which has triggered a\ndepreciation of the rupiah and a rise in energy prices, is now impacting\nIndonesia\u2019s construction sector. The weakening rupiah and the increase\nin diesel prices have caused production costs to surge, with material\nprices climbing by 8 to 15 per cent and placing a heavy burden on\nbusiness operations. The Indonesian National Construction Implementers\nAssociation (Gapensi) is hoping for government support to maintain\nproject stability, accompanied by regulatory flexibility deemed\nessential for business continuity. One proposed measure is an adjustment\nto the contract value for ongoing projects affected by the diesel price\nhike. On a separate note, Gapensi expressed appreciation for the\ngovernment\u2019s efforts to encourage the private sector to play a greater\nrole in infrastructure projects, which are increasingly spread across\nvarious regions in Indonesia.<\/p>",
