The budget deficit was designed at IDR 638.8 trillion or 2.48 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), supported by prudent, innovative, and sustainable financing.

President Prabowo Subianto emphasized that creative and innovative financing will be developed more massively by the government so that development financing does not only rely on the state budget.

The state budget, continued President Prabowo, must be designed flexibly to adapt to reduce global shocks, and maintain healthy and credible through optimizing income, strengthening spending quality, and financing innovation.
