The Directorate General of State Assets (DJKN) of the Ministry of Finance reported that as of June 19, 2023, the debt relief program or Crash Program had been followed by 486 debtors.

Director of State Property DJKN Encep Sudarwan said the amount is around 25 percent of the overall target this year which is targeting 1,600 debtors.

"Why does it still tend to be a little until the middle of this year (June)? Because it usually 'hot' in the second semester. In the first semester it was quite slow because it was still compiling supporting reports. Later in the second half we will only pursue it," he said during a press conference in Jakarta on Tuesday, June 20.

According to Encep, for this result, there was a decrease in the outstanding state receivables to Rp76.3 billion.

Last year, throughout 2022, the number of State Receivable Case Files (BKPN) reached 2,328 paid off from the target of 1,500 debtors. Meanwhile, the value of outstanding debt reached Rp88.7 billion," he added.

In detail, the realization of this year's BKPN of 486 BKPN consists of 2 students, 162 hospital patients, 139 debtors with a debt value of up to Rp. 8 million, and a total of 183 other BKPNs.

"Although now only a few (the BKPN have been completed), we are sure that we can achieve the target and even double the previous target," he said.

For information, Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani was given the authority to settle receivables of Central/Regional Government agencies which were managed/managed by the State Receivables Affairs Committee/Directorate General of State Assets with a total of up to Rp. 2 billion covering and not limited to restructuring and granting basic debt relief of up to 100 percent.
