AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoFree Meals Fallout: President Prabowo has fired the head of Indonesia’s flagship free school meals programme after a wave of food poisoning and corruption allegations, and ordered investigations into suspected graft at the National Nutrition Agency—an issue now escalating into arrests and a major political test for the billion-dollar scheme. Rupiah Under Pressure: The rupiah slid to a record low, breaching the 18,000 per US dollar level as energy costs from the Iran war lift oil prices, tighten dollar liquidity, and squeeze Indonesia’s trade surplus. El Niño Threat to Food: Dry weather linked to a strengthening El Niño is disrupting crop planting across Asia, with Indonesia’s palm oil and other farm outputs facing rising risk as farmers cut back amid hotter, drier conditions. Commodity Overhaul Impact: Indonesia’s move to centralise commodity exports is already reshaping regional competition—Malaysia’s palm oil shipments face pressure as buyers may shift toward cheaper Indonesian supplies during the transition. Regional Security: Indonesia and Singapore reaffirmed defense cooperation in annual staff talks, focusing on intelligence, exercises, education, and logistics to boost interoperability. Indonesia Open Sports: Badminton headlines included Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty withdrawing mid-match due to injury, while PV Sindhu’s run ended after another loss to world No. 1 An Se Young.
