Great Mr. Trenggono! Fishery Sector PNBP Reaches Rp611.9 Billion: Grows 111 Percent In First Half

JAKARTA – The government through the Directorate General (DG) of the Ministry of Finance's Budget (Kemenkeu) informed that the Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) from the fisheries sector was Rp. 611.9 billion in the first semester of 2022.

The Director General of Budget of the Ministry of Finance, Isa Rachmatawarta, said the score grew 111.8 percent year on year (yoy) when compared to the same period in 2021.

"The significant increase in growth was partly due to the adjustment of the Fish Benchmark Price (HPI)," he said in a webinar on Thursday, August 4.

According to Isa, the positive results in the first half of this year cannot be separated from the role of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Sakti Wahyu Trenggono, who has issued the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries' Decree No. 97 of 2021 concerning Standard Fish Prices for Calculation of Fishery Product Fees.

"Similarly, the increase in the number of permits issued by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries also contributed significantly to the increase in PNBP at the end of June 2022," he said.

Based on this policy, there are a number of changes that are quite basic and provide significant contributions, such as the issuance of Fishery Business Permits / Fish Transport Vessel Permits SP-113/KLI/2022 2 (SIUP/SIKPI) increasing to 1,366 permits (period 2021 for 728 permits). .

"Meanwhile, the Fishing Permit or SIPI has also increased to 3,390 permits from the previous 2,642 permits in 2021," he said.

Meanwhile, the realization of PNBP from all sectors at the end of the first semester of 2022 has amounted to IDR 281.0 trillion or around 58.3 percent of the target of Presidential Regulation 98/2022 which is IDR 481.6 trillion.
