Jakarta insists the country is well-supplied and will not raise prices before Eid, but analysts warn the disruption could fuel inflation and raise subsidy costs for a government already under fiscal strain, highlighting Indonesia’s limited refining capacity and status as a net importer.

Indonesia will ban social media accounts for anyone under 16 on high‑risk platforms—such as YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, Bigo Live and Roblox—with a phased rollout starting March 28 to give platforms time to comply, aiming to shield children from pornography, cyberbullying, online fraud, and addiction, while acknowledging potential initial discomfort and the need for enforcement across major platforms.

U.S. and Indonesia seal broad reciprocal trade pact unlocking market access

The Trump administration finalized a broad reciprocal trade agreement with Indonesia that eliminates tariffs on over 99% of U.S. exports, tackles non-tariff barriers on standards, labeling, and IP, advances digital trade and supply-chain resilience, and includes forced-labor reforms; it also foresees roughly $33 billion in U.S. investment and purchases in energy, aerospace (Boeing), and agriculture, plus a Freeport-McMoRan expansion, with domestic steps expected to bring the agreement into effect.

Aceh’s public caning sets a record with 140 strokes for sex and alcohol offences

In Aceh province, Indonesia, a public caning session punished a 21-year-old woman and others for violating Sharia law: sex outside marriage carries 100 strokes and drinking alcohol 40, with the woman reportedly receiving a record 140 strokes before fainting; four others, including an Islamic police officer who received 23 strokes for being in a private place with a partner, were also punished. Rights groups have long criticized caning and called for reforms to these punishments.

Aceh's public caning makes a record with 140 strokes for sex and alcohol offences

In Aceh, Indonesia, a 21-year-old woman was publicly caned 140 times—100 for sex outside marriage and 40 for drinking alcohol—marking a record number of blows in a session where three female officers took turns delivering the strokes; she fainted and was carried offstage. Four others, including an Islamic police officer, were also punished for Sharia violations. Aceh enforces Sharia with public canings, a practice criticized by rights groups for its cruelties and lack of adequate safeguards.
