  "account": "Indonesia's government is set to establish pricing guidelines for on-demand food and courier delivery services provided through technology platforms. Presidential regulations are anticipated to be released in September following consultations with online driver groups, associations, and ride-hailing platforms. Deputy House of Representatives speaker, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, confirmed the regulation will address three primary aspects: passenger fares, food and goods delivery fees, and partnership arrangements, including driver classification as micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The finalized rules will be consulted with online driver organizations and platforms before issuance. These measures are part of a broader government intervention aimed at regulating a sector that employs a significant portion of the nation's workforce.",
  "summary": "The government is finalizing new rules for ride-hailing services, with a presidential regulation expected to be issued in September.",
