Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati emphasized that the state budget must be a solution to various state problems, not a source of new problems.
According to Sri Mulyani, fiscal discipline remains the focus of the government's attention in the preparation of the Draft State Revenue and Expenditure Budget or RAPBN 2025.
Sri Mulyani emphasized that the state budget must be a shock absorber so that it can be a solution, because the state budget has contra-cyclical nature or when there is an economic turmoil, the state budget can take a role as a damper of shocks.
"However, when there is an opportunity to improve, we will immediately take care that the APBN is ready again to become a shock absorber," he said in a hearing with Committee IV of the Regional Representative Council (DPD) RI, Tuesday, June 11.
Sri Mulyani said that in the future the APBN will still be used to deal with global dynamics and reduce various turmoil so that it becomes a solution.
