        "summary": "Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa assured the DPR's Commission XI that the 2026 state budget is robust enough to keep subsidised fuel prices stable through the end of the year, even with average crude oil prices at US$100 per barrel amid global volatility from conflicts involving the US, Israel, and Iran. His statement, which exceeds the budget's macroeconomic assumption of US$70 per barrel, was met with applause and a thumbs-up from lawmakers, reinforcing public confidence in fiscal resilience. Purbaya dismissed circulating rumours of imminent budget exhaustion, emphasising detailed preparations to avert any fiscal risks or public unrest.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa\nreceived a round of applause from Commission XI DPR members when he\nstated that the 2026 state budget is strong enough to ensure that\nsubsidised fuel prices will not rise, despite average crude oil prices\nreaching US$100 until the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that, with the highly volatile global crude oil prices\ndue to the war between the United States (US) and Israel with Iran, and\nexceeding the 2026 state budget\u2019s macroeconomic assumption of US$70 per\nbarrel, the budget\u2019s resilience remains very strong with layered\nsafeguards sufficient to compensate for the pressures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are prepared not to raise them until the end of the year for\nsubsidised fuel, yes, sir,\u201d said Purbaya in the Commission XI meeting\nroom, DPR, Jakarta, on Monday (6\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>After delivering that statement, Purbaya was immediately rewarded\nwith applause from the commission\u2019s leaders and members. He was even\ngiven full support with a thumbs-up symbol to continue maintaining\nfiscal resilience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, people outside don\u2019t need to fuss or be afraid; we\u2019ve already\ncalculated it, sir. Got a thumbs-up, sir; this is thanks to Commission\nXI\u2019s support as well, so we can have open discussions,\u201d he\nemphasised.<\/p>\n<p>Purbaya also stressed that all statements discrediting the\ngovernment\u2019s ability to manage the state budget are untrue, based on\ndetailed calculations to anticipate fiscal risks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause there are rumours circulating that it will run out in two\nmonths, or two weeks, or at most it will rise in July, then there will\nbe chaos in July, whereas we\u2019ve prepared it until the end of the year\nwith the assumption of an average US$100 per barrel; we\u2019re still strong\nwith the existing budget,\u201d said Purbaya.<\/p>",
