Jakarta – Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya affirmed that Indonesia will not face chaos anytime soon. "Everything is under control," he told reporters at the Presidential Palace Complex on Friday (April 10, 2026), dismissing circulating wild rumors.

He noted that the Middle East war has led many countries to raise fuel prices. However, President Prabowo Subianto decided to keep subsidized BBM prices unchanged. "That's a fact. You can see it in neighboring countries yourself," Teddy said.

Indonesia's economy shows optimistic signs, with public purchasing power maintained. During two Eid al-Fitr periods under Prabowo's administration, essential goods prices remained stable and available. Mudik and return traffic flowed smoothly, including at Terminal Pulo Gebang and Pasar Senen Station.

Teddy highlighted the government's commitment to providing essentials, fuel, and stability. "Don't worry, citizens," he urged.
