Meanwhile, the realization of expenditure was recorded at Rp243.75 trillion or 39.25 percent of the ceiling.

Taxes reached Rp720.04 trillion or 63.01 percent of the target. Then customs and excise revenues until June 30, 2023 were recorded at Rp11.40 trillion or 49.92 percent of the target. Then, the realization of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) of Rp174.80 trillion or 89.22 percent of the target.
