Kemenkeu Gelontorkan RP5.90 Trillion For The Release Of Solo-Yogya-Kulonprogo Toll Roads

JAKARTA - The Indonesian Ministry of Finance has disbursed a budget of IDR 5.90 trillion for the acquisition of the Solo-Jogja-Kulonprogo toll road, which is currently under construction.

"In addition to us, we issued Rp5.90 trillion in terms of land acquisition, we also provide APBN support through state capital participation from the state budget to BUMN Adi's work, which is Rp1.40 trillion," said Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati at a working visit and inspection of the Solo-Yogyakarta-Kulonprogo Toll Road in Colomadu, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java, quoted from Antara, Monday 27 February.

He said this was in accordance with President Joko Widodo's instructions, namely to focus on completing national strategic projects.

"So in this case Adi Karya gets a State Capital Participation (PMN) of Rp1.40 trillion, there must be a performance contract regarding the location of the project and how much the budget is so that we and the Ministry of SOEs can carry out monitoring," he said.

Related to this, his party saw progress in national strategic projects.

"We all see how national strategic projects have an extraordinary impact on the community, from what started directly and in terms of the impact of national strategic projects on much larger economic activities," he said.

He said the Ministry of Finance as the manager of the State Budget is committed to continuing to support the acceleration of the completion of national strategic projects which have a very important role for the community for welfare and also for the economy.

"The state budget, in this case, helps the completion of national strategic projects through very real budget support, one of which was seen was support in the form of land acquisition carried out by the Public Service Agency under the financial ministry, namely LMAN, State Asset Management Institute," he said.

He said infrastructure is the lifeblood of an economy that determines the competitiveness, productivity, and progress of a nation and the economy.

"Therefore, we will continue to provide support for various national strategic programs and projects that have been designated as strategic projects," he said.

He said that currently, throughout Indonesia, there are 106 national strategic projects whose value from land acquisition alone has reached Rp106.5 trillion.

"This uses the state budget. I thank the local government for helping to be extraordinary in being able to complete it, especially in terms of land acquisition," he said.
