Indonesia Monitors U.S.-Iran Peace Deal Impact on Fuel Prices

The Indonesian government is closely observing how the recently signed peace agreement between the United States and Iran will affect domestic fuel prices, with a particular focus on non-subsidized fuel. Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto stated that an evaluation of fuel prices would be conducted soon.

Hartarto explained that a primary consideration for adjusting domestic fuel prices will be the anticipated reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This strategic waterway is crucial for global oil distribution. "With the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, we will see further price adjustments," Hartarto said, adding that the impact of the peace deal on local fuel prices would not be immediate. The government intends to monitor the concrete implementation of the agreement before making any adjustments.

The diplomatic breakthrough between the U.S. and Iran, marked by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by Presidents Donald Trump and Masoud Pezeshkian, aims to end the conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Following the signing, global crude oil prices reportedly fell below $80 per barrel, creating potential for price adjustments in various countries, including Indonesia.

Minister of Investment and Downstreaming Affairs and CEO of the Indonesia Investment Authority, Rosan Roeslani, welcomed the agreement, expressing optimism about its potential to stabilize and boost Indonesia's economy. "We must be optimistic that our economy will perform well and move forward, especially with the agreement between President Trump and the Iranian government," Rosan stated.
