        "summary": "Indonesia's Commission XI chair Mukhamad Misbakhun argues that economic uncertainty is an inevitable condition in today's geopolitically tense environment, urging cautious policy-making by the government and parliament. Trading officials acknowledge ongoing market volatility, linking it to global factors such as commodity prices, exchange-rate swings, and Middle East tensions.",
        "content": "<p>Chairman of Commission XI of the House of Representatives (DPR),\nMukhamad Misbakhun, said that macroeconomic uncertainty is a condition\nthat will inevitably occur. \u2018Moreover, the current geopolitical\nsituation also provides an indicator that uncertainty occurs at all\ntimes,\u2019 he said at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, on Wednesday, 20 May\n2026.<\/p>\n<p>Misbakhun noted that the uncertainty caused by geopolitics, for\nexample, includes the stance of United States President Donald Trump on\na ceasefire in the Iran conflict. Both Iran and the United States are\nstill reluctant to pursue a ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the conditions that trigger doubt, Misbakhun said the\nrole of the government and the DPR is to ensure they can manage that\nuncertainty well. One of the ways is to be cautious in taking economic\npolicy.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to ensuring the control of economic uncertainty,\nMisbakhun emphasised the importance of considering opportunities and\nmitigating short- and medium-term risks. \u2018Because in the long term, we\ncannot yet guarantee everything,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Acting President Director of the Indonesia Stock Exchange\n(IHSG) Jeffrey Hendrik responded to the decline of the Jakarta Composite\nIndex in trading on Monday, 18 May 2026. In the morning, IHSG had fallen\nas much as 4 percent. \u2018Certainly if we examine it, the uncertainty in\nour market remains quite high,\u2019 Jeffrey said at the Indonesia Stock\nExchange, Monday, 18 May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, he said the weakness of IHSG at the start of the week\nwas in line with the global market conditions in Asia. During the long\nweekend last week, Asian markets also corrected.<\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey stated that the sources of uncertainty at present include\nfluctuations in commodity prices, fluctuations in exchange rates in\nvarious countries, and the uncertainty of a resolution to conflicts in\nthe Middle East. All these uncertainties, he said, affect IHSG\nmovement.<\/p>",
