"The provision of THR for state and retired officials while still paying attention to balance with the implementation of other programs and within the limits of state financial capacity (APBN)," he said on Wednesday, March 29.

In detail, the Minister of Finance said that Rp11.7 trillion would be given to 1.8 million central ASN and TNI/Polri. Then, Rp17.4 trillion to 3.7 million regional ASN and Rp9.8 trillion to 2.9 million retirees.

"The provision of THR is an effort to encourage consumption to accelerate the recovery of the national economy," he said.

To note, this year's THR value has not reached its normal level before the COVID-19 pandemic because some cuts are still being made.

Meanwhile, the provisions of THR 2023 are basic salary / basic pension with attached allowances (family, food, position, structural / functional / general) and 50 percent performance allowances.

Then, the THR value of ASN in 2021 is said to be no less than IDR 21 trillion and the last THR in 2022 is IDR 34.3 trillion.
