Video: Private and SOE Employees Officially WFH - US Fuel Prices Soar

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Minister of Manpower, Yassierli, has officially issued a circular regarding the work-from-home policy, or one day per week for private sector, BUMN, and BUMD employees. This policy, effective from 1 April 2026, is part of the national energy optimisation programme amid global oil price fluctuations.

Meanwhile, amid intensifying global conflicts, stark differences have emerged in energy policies between the United States and Indonesia. Entering April 2026, fuel prices in Uncle Sam’s country have skyrocketed to Rp17,980 per litre, whereas the Indonesian government ensures that domestic fuel prices, both subsidised and non-subsidised, remain stable or do not increase.
