        "summary": "The Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) has cautioned the Indonesian government and market players to remain vigilant regarding lingering impacts on global energy supplies, even as the Middle East conflict appears to be subsiding. CEO Fabby Tumiwa highlighted that while US President Donald Trump's statements offer hope for resolution within weeks, damage to production facilities like LNG terminals in Qatar could take months or years to repair, potentially pressuring international energy prices. He stressed the need for anticipatory measures to secure domestic supplies and accelerate energy diversification to reduce reliance on imports from conflict-prone regions.",

It is a virtue,\u201d wrote the\nphilosopher Baruch Spinoza.<\/p>\n<p>The end of the conflict in the Middle East does not immediately\nguarantee a swift recovery in global energy supplies. This was stated by\nthe Chief Executive Officer of the Institute for Essential Services\nReform, Fabby Tumiwa, who reminded the government and market players to\nstay alert to the ongoing impacts of the energy crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Fabby explained that US President Donald Trump\u2019s statements regarding\nthe potential end of the conflict in the near future indeed provide hope\nfor easing tensions, including in the Strait of Hormuz, a major global\nenergy distribution route.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf what President Trump said is true, we hope that the crisis in the\nStrait of Hormuz will end in 2-3 weeks. But we must also be cautious\nthat even if the war ends, supplies of fuel oil, LNG, and others from\nthe Middle East may not recover immediately,\u201d said Fabby at the Denpasar\n12 Discussion Forum held online on Wednesday (1\/4).<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the conflict has caused disruptions to several\nenergy production facilities, including liquefied natural gas (LNG)\ninfrastructure. The damage requires a non-short recovery time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, one LNG terminal in Qatar has been damaged. Its repair\nis not just monthly, but could be yearly,\u201d Fabby clarified.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, this situation has the potential to pressure global\nLNG supplies in the medium term, which will ultimately impact energy\nprices in the international market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo even if the war ends, supplies of oil, LNG, and other energies\nmay not recover as before the conflict. This is what we must pay\nattention to because the implications will be felt in prices,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Fabby emphasised the importance of anticipatory steps from the\ngovernment to secure domestic energy supplies, while also accelerating\nthe diversification of energy sources to reduce dependence on imports\nfrom conflict-vulnerable regions.<\/p>",
