2022 In Indonesia

The year was defined by the invasion of Ukraine in late February, which greatly affected the country's economy and sparked surges in prices of multiple commodities. The invasion also contributed to the cooking oil crisis that swept through the country from April to May and prompted the government to raise the prices of fuel, causing protests from the public. The conflict in Ukraine eventually overshadowed the G20 Bali Summit in November.

Politically, the year was also marked by multiple landmark cases. In January, the government announced that the new Indonesian capital would be named as Nusantara. In February, the government passed the Law on State Capital, acknowledging the current relocation of Indonesia's capital city from Jakarta and establishing Nusantara as the new capital of Indonesia. In April, the government passed the sexual violence bill, hailed by activists as a major progress in Indonesia. In June, President Joko Widodo reshuffled his cabinet for the third time during his second term. A major murder scandal rocked the Indonesian National Police in July, described as one of the worst scandals in the institution. In November, the government recognized the creation of five new provinces in Papua, bringing the total number of Indonesian provinces to 38.

Due to the decrease of active COVID-19 cases, the government began to gradually lift numerous COVID-19 restrictions. In May, the government lifted the mask mandate in Indonesia and in December President Joko Widodo announced the lifting of Community Activities Restrictions Enforcement (PPKM) throughout the country, hinting that the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia was coming to an end and starting the transition to the endemic phase.
