Southeast Asian Governments Bet on Remote Work for Civil Servants to Curb Energy Costs

Southeast Asian governments are implementing remote work policies for civil servants to reduce energy consumption amid soaring costs triggered by the Iran war. Indonesia's Friday work-from-home policy, introduced April 1, is estimated to save 6.2 trillion rupiah (US$361.5 million) in fuel subsidies. The Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia have similar measures. However, analysts warn that reduced petrol consumption from fewer commuters could be offset by higher household electricity use as air conditioners run all day.
