Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadive revealed that the distribution of the Prosperous Temporary Cash Direct Assistance Program (BLTS) has reached around IDR 20 trillion of the total budget prepared of IDR 31 trillion.

"Now almost Rp20 trillion has been distributed," he said at a press conference on the Financial System Stability Committee (KSSK) IV in 2025, Monday, November 3.

The BLTS program is an additional stimulus from the government which is given to 35.05 million Beneficiary Families (KPM). This assistance is distributed from October to December 2025, with a value of IDR 300,000 per month for each family.

"Sejahtera Temporary Cash Direct Assistance (BLTS) for 35.05 million beneficiary families (KPM) has been distributed in stages and will be distributed entirely in the second week of November 2025. Each KPM receives a total of IDR 900 thousand, so IDR 300 thousand every month," he explained.

Previously, this program had experienced problems because the distribution in the last week of October 2025 had not yet fully reached the government's target. Responding to this, Purbaya ensured that the problem would be resolved soon.

"I think this week is over," said Purbaya when met at the Head Office of the Ministry of Finance, Thursday, October 23.

He added that the main obstacle was due to logistical problems, which are currently still in the process of being investigated.

However, Purbaya emphasized that distribution to the community in the lowest economic decile remains a top priority.

"The problem is being checked, he said, there is still a need for logistics, logistical preparation. Basically, what is usually distributed, what is the other thing, which is usually distributed for decile 1-2, it will be distributed quickly as usual, maybe tomorrow it will flow," he said, Tuesday, October 21.
