everything is going well, and all sectors are expanding,\" Purbaya asserted.Regarding fiscal policy, Purbaya clarified that the Ministry of Finance has not yet made a formal decision to cut budgets across various ministries or agencies.He noted that the government is still in the stage of performing in-depth calculations while monitoring the dynamic fluctuations of world oil prices caused by the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz.He also confirmed that no official decision regarding imminent budget cuts has been finalized.President Prabowo had previously highlighted how other nations are tightening their belts by cutting the salaries of cabinet members and parliamentarians to provide aid to the most vulnerable groups in society.In addition to salary cuts, other cost-saving measures currently under government consideration include work-from-home (WFH) mandates, fuel savings, and the suspension of non-essential state spending.Read: Indonesia Weighs Ministerial Salary Cuts to Boost SavingsClick here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google News","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko;
