Moreover, continued Erick, there are new assignments and work patterns that must be carried out based on the latest BUMN Law. By still controlling series A shares, the Ministry of SOEs not only has a role to play in encouraging acceleration, but also plays a role in the approval of dividends, mergers, and also the closure of SOEs.
In the new BUMN Law, continued Erick, the board of directors to commissioners, state-owned companies are no longer included in state administrators, so a definition of their derivative is needed.
