JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir revealed that the contribution of state-owned companies to the state reached 20 percent of the total state revenue.

Furthermore, Erick said, the percentage consists of dividends, taxes, and Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP).

"So from the total state revenue of 100 percent, our contribution is approximately 20 percent, this is what we encourage," he said in a working meeting (raker) with Commission VI of the DPR RI, at the DPR Building, Parliament Complex, Tuesday, March 19.

Erick said the company had deposited a budget of IDR 81.2 trillion to the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu).

"Alhamdulillah, yesterday I checked from the Ministry of Finance that it had received a total of more than dividends, namely in 2023 IDR 81.2 trillion," he said.

Furthermore, Erick said, this year's dividend will be given to the state in 2025. The target is to reach IDR 85.5 trillion.

He is also optimistic that this year's BUMN dividend target can be achieved. This is because the company posted an increase in cash profits.

"And yesterday we tried to check again for 2024, where the dividend will occur in 2025, more or less, this projection is still at IDR 85.5 trillion, so this is an increase in line with the increase in cash profits that I previously presented," said Erick.
