Sri Mulyani Asks The Directorate General Of Treasury To Deepen Its Function To Strengthen The Economy

Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati asked the Directorate General of Treasury (DJPb) to deepen its treasury function. This is in order to strengthen economic management through the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN).

"All of us at the Ministry of Finance, especially the Directorate General of Treasury, need to improve our ability to connect APBN management, especially in terms of treasury funding, with economic management," Sri Mulyani said quoting Antara.

Sri Mulyani said that the APBN is not a static document, but there are posts and components that are engaged in the dynamics of the economy.

The state budget, he continued, cannot be separated from economic movement. As a state treasurer, the Ministry of Finance must be able to read the overall economic movement so that it can design the state budget well.

Therefore, the Ministry of Finance as the state treasurer needs to have the ability to manage the State Budget tools or instruments so that they can remain credible, sustainable and reliable. It is a challenge for all state treasurers around the world," he said.

In an effort to improve the competence and knowledge of the Ministry of Finance, especially the function of the treasury, the Minister of Finance asked the Directorate General of Treasury to conduct benchmarks with various institutions, both banking institutions and the Ministry of Finance of other countries.

This also includes relations with Bank Indonesia and the financial sector as a whole, such as the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS).

Sri Mulyani also emphasized the importance of strengthening cooperation with local governments.

Karena ini merupakan salah satu bentuk kita untuk semakin menciptakan apa yang disebut demokrasi yang sehat. Bagaimana kita semua bisa terus menjelaskan mengenai operasi APBN #UangKita. Itu adalah untuk anak-anak dan untuk seluruh bangsa Indonesia sehingga mereka bisa mengrepresi bagaimana sebuah pengelolaan keuangan negara itu dilakukan, jelas Menkeu.
