Indonesian Government to optimize APBN for Economic stability and Community Welfare

Jakarta – In a recent ​statement, indonesian Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati​ outlined the government’s plans to optimize the State⁣ Revenue‌ and Expenditure Budget (APBN) to bolster the national economy and enhance community welfare. The focus will be on maintaining the purchasing power of⁢ the community through various social protection programs and ‌economic ⁤support initiatives.

the agricultural ⁤sector, which⁢ has seen fluctuations,‌ is expected to benefit from policies aimed at achieving food self-sufficiency and implementing the ⁣nutritious Food Program (MBG).According to the minister, the sector’s performance is anticipated to⁤ improve despite recent⁣ setbacks in rice and coconut production, as well as palm oil.

“However, the performance of the agricultural sector is expected ⁢to increase along with the policy ⁢of food self-sufficiency and free nutritional eating program (MBG). Meanwhile, the⁢ mining sector also grew moderately by 3.95% in the fourth quarter or 4.90% ‍for 2024,” the minister noted.To‌ maintain the purchasing power of the community, the government will continue to ​fortify the Social ⁢Protection Program (Perlinsos). This⁣ includes programs ​such as the ⁢Family Hope Program (PKH), food⁤ cards, and various subsidies and compensations. These initiatives are crucial for​ ensuring that‍ the most vulnerable ​segments of society have access to ​essential goods and services.

Along with‍ social protection, the government⁤ is committed to increasing the capacity of Micro, small, and Medium Enterprises⁣ (MSMEs). This will⁤ be achieved ⁣through the Kredit Usaha Rakyat (KUR)​ program and various tax ⁢facilities designed​ to support these enterprises. Strengthening MSMEs is vital for⁣ fostering economic growth and creating job ‌opportunities.Price⁣ stability is another⁣ key concern, and the​ government will ⁢focus on food price ⁤stabilization (SPHP) to ensure that essential commodities ‌remain ⁢affordable for the general⁣ public.⁤ This is particularly significant​ in the context of ​global economic‌ uncertainties and fluctuations in⁣ commodity⁢ prices.

“The government⁣ also continues​ to strengthen collaboration,⁣ coordination, and synergy to optimize the impact of policies on the ⁤economy and community welfare, ⁢through fiscal, monetary, and‌ financial sector ⁣policies,” concluded Sri Mulyani.

The government’s⁣ thorough approach to economic ‍management and community ​welfare is aimed at creating a stable and inclusive economic environment. By focusing on⁣ social⁤ protection, MSME support, and price stabilization, the government seeks to build resilience and ensure sustainable economic growth.
