“LPG supply remains secure so far. What we previously sourced from the Middle East has been shifted to other countries such as the United States, Australia and several others,” he said in Jakarta.
The government has taken similar steps to ensure crude oil supply reliability, redirecting imports from the Middle East to Angola, Nigeria and other African producers, he said.
“Currently, our energy stocks are still at the national minimum level. So, inshaAllah, everything is under control,” Lahadalia said.
Indonesia has also prepared long-term LPG import contracts with several countries to maintain supply stability amid global geopolitical uncertainties.
During a plenary cabinet meeting at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta on Friday (March 13), Bahlil said that this move was part of the government’s anticipatory strategy to ensure LPG supply remains secure despite shifts in import sources away from the Middle East.
About 70-75 percent of Indonesia’s LPG imports now come from the United States, around 20 percent from the Middle East, and the rest from other countries including Australia.
In addition to LPG, the government has ensured that the national diesel supply is secure, as all current demand can now be met through domestic production.
Roughly 20 percent of Indonesia’s crude oil imports previously came from the Middle East, but alternative long-term supply arrangements with other countries have been put in place to maintain energy security, Lahadalia said.
