Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa stated that a work-from-home policy on Fridays could save fuel oil without disrupting national productivity. He made the remarks during a meeting at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta on Friday. The policy is still under discussion and directly monitored by President Prabowo Subianto.
