The Directorate General of State Assets (DJKN) of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) plans to optimize state assets in the procurement of buildings for new ministry offices.

The Director General of State Assets of the Ministry of Finance Rionald Silaban revealed that this step was taken following changes and the addition of the nomenclature of ministries and institutions by President Prabowo Subianto.

"For the procurement of the ministry building, our main focus is on optimizing existing assets. The team at DJKN continues to monitor this matter," he said at a media briefing in Bandung Regency, Thursday, November 7.

Rionald added that DJKN has data related to state assets that are currently unused or unemployed (idle).

Management of state assets is carried out based on Goods Standards according to Needs (SBSK), and communication will be carried out with ministries that need new offices in order to take advantage of available assets.

According to Rionald, with the optimization of these assets, the government can avoid large spending on building new buildings.

For example, when a ministry is originally one in several parts, each part can take advantage of the old building owned by the relevant directorates.

"For example, there are ministries that were previously one to three. Each of these new ministries can use existing assets, such as buildings belonging to the previous directorate general," he concluded.
