Indonesia to Cut Fuel Imports From Singapore in Favor of US
Indonesia will cut its fuel imports from Singapore and source supplies from the US and Middle Eastern countries instead, according to the country's energy minister.
Southeast Asia's largest economy will look to gradually eliminate its shipments of oil products from Singapore, which account for more than half its imports, Energy Minister Bahlil Lahadalia told reporters on Friday. Purchases will be switched to suppliers in the US and Middle East as Indonesia seeks lower prices and a 'better balance' in the changing global geopolitical environment, Lahadalia said.

The 7.7 magnitude earthquake on March 28 affected more than 17 million people and wrecked widespread damages to residential buildings, public infrastructure and heritage sites in areas accounting for about one-third of Myanmar's gross domestic product.
