That is because the war of two countries in the middle has the world to drag the world to a broader open conflict, which immediately has a negative influence on the global economy.
The impact of the conflict can still be felt in Indonesia, even though it is far from the conflict center. Especially the industrial sector that started to feel the pressure of the rise in energy prices, logistics and exchange rate fluctuations considerably.

This effort is not only expected to be able to reduce the production costs in terms of energy, but also strengthen the independence of national energy in the midst of global pressure, such as Astacita President Prabowo.
In addition to a significant impact on the sustainability of the production of energy raw materials of production, Iran-Israeli conflicts also have an influence on logistics flow and exchange rate fluctuations.
