Rapat bersama para direktur WIKA dan Waskita. Kami membahas langkah-langkah strategis dalam bentuk road map, untuk melanjutkan program transformasi bisnis, ujar Erick dikutip dari Instagram @erickthohir, Rabu, 3 Januari.

Erick encourages BUMN Karya to have a more sustainable operational activity cycle to have a positive impact on the company.

However, Erick admitted that the restructuring of state-owned companies took a long time.

Erick also mentioned the merger process which is a plan to transform BUMN Karya in the future.

Erick added that previously it had also been discussed in the restructuring involving state-owned banks and PMN.

He said the funds must be used directly to his project.

"Yesterday we also talked to Himbara about being from PMN if there is an increase in capital, we want to enter the project points," said Erick.

On the other hand, Erick also appreciated Waskita and WIKA for collaborating with the Indonesia Investment Authority (INA) to be part of this improvement. He also encouraged the mapping of payment or payment of vendors

"I want to ask Waskita and WIKA that we have a rosdmap this year, exactly what kind of two years, what three years like," he said.
