JAKARTA - The 2024 Top BUMD Awards were given in Jakarta to a number of BUMD (regionally owned enterprises) from all over Indonesia. The award was given after a number of BUMDs managed to pass the assessment process by the 2024 Top BUMD Awards Jury, which was divided into several stages from filling out questionnaires to judging interviews.

Taking place at the Raffles Hotel Jakarta, Wednesday, March 20, the event was attended by around 850 more people. They come from various groups such as BUMD officials, regional heads who receive awards, experts/business consultants, mass media, and others.

The theme of this event is: 'Strengthening Governance in Building Business Performance and BUMD Services' organized by TopBusiness Magazine.

Head of the 2024 BUMD Awards Top Organizers, M. Lutfi Handayani, said that, with this theme, what BUMD judged was the success of performance and services.

"And of course, good corporate governance policies and implementation in supporting the improvement of BUMD performance and services," said Lutfi.

Through this activity, his party wants to encourage the implementation of good corporate governance or GCG and carry out innovations from BUMD-BUMD in Indonesia to improve the performance and services of BUMD.

This Top BUMD activity, said Lutfi, is in line with the provisions in Government Regulation No. 54 of 2017 concerning BUMD articles 7 and article 8, that BUMD management must be based on good corporate governance.

"If GCG and innovation are transmitted to all BUMDs, hopefully, more and more BUMD-BUMD will be at the top, great BUMD-BUMD, namely BUMD-BUMD which will continue to innovate and improve in business management. Hopefully, the economy in the regions and national levels will continue to grow sustainably," he said.

Lutfi also explained that the Top BUMD Awards 2024 was attended by 215 BUMDs out of a total of around 1,133 BUMDs in Indonesia. "The 215 figure is the number that participated in the complete selection until an interview with the 2024 BUMD Awards Top Jury," he said.
