Jakarta, March 31 (AFP) Mar 31, 2026
Indonesia on Tuesday announced fuel rationing and ordered civil servants to work from home one day a week, as it seeks to conserve energy stocks amid global price hikes due to the Middle East war.

"The government will regulate (fuel) purchases... with a reasonable limit of 50 litres per vehicle" per day, Coordinating Economic Minister Airlangga Hartarto said in a virtual press conference from Seoul.

He added that civil servants will work from home every Friday.
