According to Syahrul's notes, BUMN itself has a number of major long-term transformation programs. This is intended so that SOEs can sustainably contribute economic value and social value to all stakeholders. On the other hand, the economic function of SOEs can generate profits and generate large capitalization.

In addition, Syahrul said, Erick Thohir also always asked Himbara to always coordinate to improve systems and services to support one government data. This made Himbara stronger and stronger.

"Pak Erick is very fast in tidying up SOEs. His leadership in leading state-owned companies deserves thumbs up," he explained.

Syahrul added, Himbara has an important role in the distribution of various aids provided by the government. Starting from MSMEs, subsidies for workers' salaries, to wage assistance for non-civil servant educators.
