Video: MBG to be Reduced - Indonesia's Economy Claimed to Withstand Global Pressures

The Indonesian government will reduce the priority free nutritious meals programme (MBG) from five days to four days per week. The Indonesian government claims that the current state of the national economy is increasingly resilient. This was stated amid rising global economic pressures due to the conflict in the Middle East, which is also disrupting world trade routes, particularly energy distribution through the Strait of Hormuz. The Financial Services Authority (OJK) explained the reasons why bank lending interest rates are difficult to lower, even though the Bank Indonesia benchmark interest rate has fallen since September 2025 to 4.75%.
