SOE Dividend Deposit Moves To Danantara, DPD RI Asks Ministry Of Finance To Find A Replacement

JAKARTA - Chairman of Committee IV DPD RI Ahmad Nawardi said that the presence of the Anagata Nusantara Power Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara) in the near future will disrupt state revenue conditions.

"The dividend deposit of 65 SOEs to the state targeted at Rp90 trillion in 2025 from the previous Rp85.5 trillion in 2024 from Rp10,402 trillion in assets they manage, this amount will go into BPI Danantara's cash and be managed into investment, this BUMN dividend will be developed continuously, this Danantara status makes the BUMN company managed by Danantara no longer a separated state wealth so that there is no more such thing as PNBP income from the BUMN," he said at a meeting of the DPD committee. with the Ministry of Finance, Tuesday, February 18.

Therefore, Nawardi said that the Ministry of Finance needs to revise the PNBP revenue target, and there must be a replacement solution for PNBP from BUMN dividends.

"If the state revenue target is not achieved and spending is not reduced from the start, the deficit will widen from what the Government has set by 2.53 percent of GDP," he said.
