JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) revealed that the 2024 Draft State Budget (RAPBN) targets economic growth of 5.2 percent.

This amount tends to be conservative from the figure that was discussed in the preliminary draft RAPBN talks between the Ministry of Finance and the DPR's Budget Agency (Banggar), namely 5.1 percent.

"The 2024 economic growth is estimated at 5.2 percent," he said in the DPR Plenary Session today, Wednesday, August 16.

The President ensured that the government would continue to maintain macroeconomic stability in the country. It was stated that the implementation of next year's fiscal instruments cannot be separated from the democratic party event.

"We must create a conducive and peaceful situation in the 2024 General Election and Simultaneous Pilkada in order to increase short-term economic optimism. Implementation of the Law on the Harmonization of Tax Regulations, the Law on Central and Regional Financial Relations, and the Law on the Development and Strengthening of the Financial Sector will also provide positive benefits to structural strengthening," he said.

The head of state added that the government will also maintain inflation in a low range, namely 2.8 percent. VOI noted that this level is lower than the target in the 2023 State Budget which is 3 percent plus minus 1 percent.

"The role of the state budget will continue to be optimized to mitigate inflationary pressures, both due to climate change and external shocks. Strong coordination between members of the Central and Regional Inflation Control Team forums will continue to be maintained," said Jokowi.
