JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir admitted that he would meet with the Minister of Public Works (PU) Dody Hanggodo to continue discussing the consolidation of BUMN works.

"Wednesday we will meet the new Minister of Public Works," Erick told reporters, written Tuesday, November 5.

Erick said that later from seven state-owned companies, it would be consolidated into only three companies.

For your information, the merger of BUMN works started from the merger of PT Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk into the holding of PT Hutama Karya (Persero).

Then, PT PP (Persero) Tbk (PTPP) is consolidated with PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk (WIKA). Then, PT Adhi Karya (Persero) Tbk will also be merged with PT Nindya Karya (Persero) and PT Brantas Abipraya (Persero).

"One of the issues is, yes, getting approval that this BUMN Karya is from 7 to 3," he said.

According to Erick, with the consolidation, BUMN works will be classified according to their respective skills. Thus, BUMN works can no longer work on various projects.

"So that we can carry out restructuring, restructuring, but also building expertise in each BUMN," he said.

He hopes that the merger of BUMN works can be realized as soon as possible after he meets Dody Hanggodo.

"Yes, if it is signed next week, it will be finished," he said.
