INDONESIA: Indonesian industrial sector is facing mounting pressure due to the combined impact of escalating tensions in the Middle East and a domestic gas supply crisis. Disruptions in global energy markets have contributed to rising gas prices, while local supply constraints have further intensified the challenge for energy-intensive industries. These conditions have significantly increased production costs, particularly for sectors reliant on stable and affordable gas inputs.
Industrial players are reporting declining competitiveness and operational inefficiencies as they struggle to secure consistent energy supply. The situation has raised concerns over potential output reductions and weakened industrial performance if conditions persist. Policymakers are therefore being urged to stabilise domestic gas allocation and mitigate external shocks, as ensuring energy security is becoming critical to sustaining Indonesia’s manufacturing growth and overall economic resilience.
