Overview
Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are beginning to ripple across Indonesia’s macro landscape, particularly through oil prices, shipping disruptions, and energy security concerns. While Iran has denied involvement in attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure, market volatility remains elevated, with risks to crude supply routes including the Strait of Hormuz. Bank Indonesia is closely monitoring inflation pass-through from higher global energy prices, particularly toward transport and food costs. Domestically, the government is counterbalancing external headwinds with a sizeable Eid fiscal stimulus package targeting civil servants and gig workers. State asset funds continue to deploy capital into strategic downstream industrial projects, signaling long-term structural ambition despite short-term volatility. Energy resilience remains a focal point, with authorities assuring adequate fuel reserves even as Pertamina vessels operate in high-risk zones. Meanwhile, trade-related frictions persist, including Saudi poultry restrictions and specialty rice imports under the US reciprocal trade agreement. Overall, Indonesia’s macro stance remains pro-consumption and pro-investment, but external geopolitical risks are increasingly shaping policy calibration in early 2026.
