        "summary": "Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has endorsed implementing work-from-home (WFH) on Fridays as a measure to enhance energy efficiency without significantly impacting national productivity. He highlighted that selective application, particularly in non-essential sectors, could lead to substantial savings in fuel consumption, though the exact figures depend on oil prices. The policy is under close monitoring by President Prabowo Subianto and is expected to be formally announced soon by Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto.",
        "content": "<p>Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa believes that the government\u2019s\nforthcoming work-from-home (WFH) policy will not disrupt national\neconomic productivity and could even provide energy efficiency\nbenefits.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, from both fiscal and economic activity\nperspectives, the WFH policy will not have a significant impact on\nnational productivity if implemented selectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt won\u2019t (disrupt it), if we choose carefully. If we pick Friday,\nthere will definitely be savings on fuel of some percentage, I don\u2019t\nknow the details because it can vary depending on oil prices,\u201d Purbaya\nsaid when met at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta on\nFriday.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that strategic sectors such as manufacturing industries\nand public services will continue to operate normally, as not all types\nof work can be done remotely.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the implementation of WFH is seen as potentially\nreducing fuel oil (BBM) consumption due to decreased public mobility,\nalthough the amount of savings still depends on oil prices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for productivity, for factories and so on that require continuous\nwork, they don\u2019t have to do it. And public services will continue as\nusual. So it should be fine if it\u2019s just one day. Our total productivity\nwon\u2019t be too disrupted,\u201d Purbaya clarified.<\/p>\n<p>He added that discussions on the WFH policy are still ongoing at the\ngovernment level and are being directly monitored by President Prabowo\nSubianto.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the government is still holding a series of\nfollow-up meetings to finalise the implementation scheme before it is\nofficially announced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President is monitoring it directly. This will be announced soon\nby the Coordinating Minister for the Economy (Airlangga Hartarto),\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>",
