Indonesia’s Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has asserted that the country’s 2026 State Budget (APBN) remains resilient, despite a recent surge in global crude oil prices.
The minister’s comments aim to reassure markets and domestic stakeholders that fiscal discipline is holding firm even as energy costs rise.
According to reports from Antara News, Sadewa emphasized that the government has built sufficient buffers and contingency measures into the budget to absorb external shocks.
The reassurance comes as global oil markets have seen renewed upward pressure, raising concerns about import bills and inflationary risks for net-importing economies.
For Indonesia, which relies on oil imports to meet a significant portion of its domestic demand, higher global prices can strain the trade balance and increase subsidy burdens if not managed carefully.
According to reports from Antara News, Sadewa emphasized that the government has built sufficient buffers and contingency measures into the budget to absorb external shocks.
This stance aligns with broader efforts by emerging market central banks and finance ministries to maintain credibility amid volatile commodity cycles.
