        "summary": "The Financial Services Authority (OJK) has urged Indonesian banks to treat the Middle East conflict as a warning to prepare for the worst possible outcomes amid global volatility. OJK's Executive Head of Banking Supervision, Dian Ediana Rae, noted that while the current financial stability impacts are not severe compared to the Covid-19 pandemic, sectors like exports and imports could face disruptions, particularly given Indonesia's heavy reliance on imported gas and oil. She emphasised reviewing policies if the situation worsens, highlighting the conflict's broad economic repercussions that make it undesirable worldwide.",
