        "summary": "Indonesia's House of Representatives (DPR) is implementing efficiency measures in response to President Prabowo Subianto's directives amid concerns over a potential budget deficit exceeding 3% due to rising oil prices from Middle East conflicts. These include restricting electricity use in the parliamentary complex until 6 PM, reducing operational hours for lifts and escalators, cutting fuel for official vehicles, promoting public transport for staff, and eliminating meals for online meetings. Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto warned that without such efficiencies, the fiscal deficit could reach 4.06% of GDP in the worst-case scenario.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The House of Representatives (DPR) is one of\nthe state institutions following up on President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s\ndirectives regarding budget and resource efficiency. DPR Secretary\nGeneral Indra Iskandar revealed that his side has issued policies\nrelated to this efficiency. The first is the restriction on electricity\nuse in the Parliamentary Complex, which is maximally used until 6:00 PM\nWIB. \u201cLifts and escalators will be turned on from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM\nlocal time. After 6:00 PM, efficiency in the use\/operation of lifts will\nbe implemented by up to 70 percent,\u201d said Indra to Kompas.com on Monday\n(30\/3\/2026). In addition to electricity, the DPR is also saving fuel oil\n(BBM) for vehicles of high-ranking officials, mid-level officials,\nprimary officials, and administrative officials within the DPR.\n\u201cOperational vehicles for employees are adjusted according to the\nscheduled WFH\/WFA,\u201d said Indra. Meanwhile, for DPR employees, Indra has\ninstructed them to use public transport. \u201cEmployees are urged to reduce\nthe use of private vehicles and switch to public transport,\u201d said Indra.\n\u201cMeetings conducted online cannot be provided with meeting\nrefreshments,\u201d said Indra. It is known that President Prabowo Subianto\nraised the issue of efficiency amid the potential for a Budget Revenue\nand Expenditure (APBN) deficit above 3 percent. The biggest pressure\ncomes from the potential surge in oil prices following Iran\u2019s closure of\nthe Strait of Hormuz, the world\u2019s most vital oil shipping route, due to\nconflict in the Middle East. Coordinating Minister for the Economy\nAirlangga Hartarto stated that in the worst-case scenario without\nefficiency, the fiscal deficit could reach 4.06 percent of Gross\nDomestic Product (GDP).<\/p>",
