Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati officially issued Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 63 of 2025 concerning the utilization of the More Budget Balance (SAL) for the 2025 Fiscal Year.

This regulation is intended as a form of support for banks that distribute financing to the Red and White Village Cooperatives (KDMP/KKMP).

The PMK was officially enacted on August 28, 2025 and took effect on September 1, 2025, as an implementation of Presidential Instruction Number 9 of 2025 concerning the Acceleration of the Establishment of Village Cooperatives/Redih Villages.

Through this policy, the government seeks to strengthen national independence through sustainable food self-sufficiency programs and economically equitable village development.

In this regulation, the government stipulates the use of funds of Rp. 16 trillion from SAL to support state-owned banks that distribute credit to village/kelurahan cooperatives that are members of the Merah Putih program.

The placement of funds from SAL will be recorded as receipt of financing in the State Budget for Fiscal Year 2025.

The process was carried out through a transfer from the SAL Cash Account to the State General Cash Account (RKUN), then allocated as financing in the State General Treasurer (BUN) budget at the Government Investment Post.

The SAL funds placed on the bank will be recorded as non-permanent government investments and reported in the Central Government Financial Report (LKPP) for the 2025 fiscal year.
