This figure grew when compared to PDN spending in 2022 of 76 percent.
"Then other positive growth is reflected in the realization of the procurement of goods and services for Micro, Small and Cooperative Enterprises (MSMEs) in 2022, which was recorded at 36.1 percent, while on October 27, 2023, the realization was 37.6 percent, although the target in the Presidential Instruction of the Republic of Indonesia (Inpres) Number 2 of 2022 is at least 40 percent," he said.

As of October 27, 2023, it has reached IDR 810.92 trillion or has penetrated 65.30 percent of the planned total.
Hendrar hopes that the remaining 34.70 percent of the RUP that has not been realized will be fulfilled by the end of 2023 and is optimistic that the government's performance in the procurement of goods and services will record a more positive number.
