JAKARTA - The government through the Ministry of Finance is scheduled to hold an Ex-BLBI (Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance) Asset Control Ceremony by the Task Force located at Lippo Karawaci Housing, Kelapa Dua Village, Tangerang. This is the information received by VOI through the official channel of the Ministry of Finance.
"(The event) was attended by Minister of Finance, Sri Mulyani, Minister of Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Mahfud MD, Head of the BLBI Task Force, Rionald Silaban, as well as the Implementing Task Force and Working Group of the BLBI Task Force", the Ministry of Finance released on Friday, August 27.

"Until today, the government still has to pay the BLBI to the central bank, which poured funds into banks, which at that time were experiencing liquidity difficulties", said Sri Mulyani at the time.

According to her, this problem has been dormant for a long time and firmness is needed from the state to get a real solution.
"Because the time has been very long, so now it's more than 20 years, of course, we no longer question the good intentions (of the obligors and debtors), just want to pay or not", she said.
For information, BLBI is an assistance scheme (loan) provided by Bank Indonesia to banks experiencing liquidity problems during the 1998 monetary crisis in Indonesia. This step is intended as a bailout so that banks have the ability to maintain cash flow when there is a wave of withdrawals by customers due to economic uncertainty.
