JAKARTA - Minister of Public Works (PU) Dody Hanggodo conveyed that the realization of the Ministry of Public Works' budget until October 25, 2024, reached IDR 34.81 trillion. The budget allocation of the Ministry of Public Works this year is IDR 166.99 trillion.

Dody said that the initial ceiling of the Ministry of PUPR in 2024 was IDR 147.37 trillion and increased by IDR 19.62 trillion. Thus, the ceiling becomes IDR 166.99 trillion.

"The realization of the budget until October 25, 2024, is around 60.83 percent or Rp. 101.58 trillion, of which the physical progress is 66.1 percent, the financial progress is around 10.9 percent," said Dody in a working meeting (Raker) with Commission V DPR RI at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, October 30.

He said the physical progress was higher than the same period in 2023. "(Physical progress) is actually higher than the realization in 2023 which was 49.9 percent," he said.

However, Dody did not deny that the realization of the Ministry of Public Works' budget was still relatively low. In fact, it has entered the end of October 2024.

"It was a bit slow at the beginning because there were indeed many administrative processes and we on the one hand were constrained by land supply. But, gradually we were able to complete it," said Dody

"So, God willing, we can reach a minimum of 90 percent in December 2024," he continued.

In addition, Dody also reported on the progress of the project auction at his ministry until October 25, 2024. First, 2,827 packages with a ceiling of Rp110.95 trillion or 97.3 percent of the total contractual activity of Rp113.99 trillion.

"CLUDING the new selection tender package, both single and multi years contract (MYC), a total of 1,475 packages with ceilings were paled at around Rp. 19.18 trillion," he said.

Meanwhile, the progress of the auction, which has not been contracted until October 2024, is 129 packages with a ceiling of around Rp. 3 trillion. "Or about 2.7 percent of the total contractual activity of Rp. 113.99 trillion," he added.
