"The number (transaction) as of July 2, 2024, in the sense that an invoice has been issued, not just a transaction, it was recorded at Rp. 13.5 trillion," he said during a press conference in Sarinah, Jakarta, Thursday, July 11.

In terms of frequency, continued Loto, the goods and services that SOEs buy the most are office stationery (ATK), catering and snak, computer and peripheral electronics, procurement and leasing of machine equipment, as well as souvenirs and merchandise.

Then, continued Loto, procurement and leasing vehicles, construction and renovation services, event organizer (EO) services, procurement and lease of furniture equipment, as well as printing and media services.

For your information, the Ministry of SOEs is holding a 2024 Hybrid Expo & Conference MSME PaDi in Sarinah, Jakarta.

The event lasts for four days from Thursday, July 11 to Sunday, July 14 and is attended by MSMEs assisted by SOEs.
