Therefore, it is not only business model restructuring but also must be accompanied by efficiency and no less important is business innovation as well as the transformation of human capital, " said Erick Thohir in an official statement, quoted from Antara, Friday, July 16.

The Minister of SOEs said that there is no surrender, the sick can be cured as long as there is a will and of course mutual cooperation in solving common problems.

"We can see several SOEs whose health has also begun to appear after restructuring, such as Krakatau Steel and PTPN. Yesterday I checked Krakatau Steel. Thank God the net income is good now. Then I also went to Medan to check that PTPN has good cashflow and continues make breakthroughs but according to the agreed roadmap," said Erick Thohir.

Previously, SOE Minister Erick Thohir appreciated the agreement between Waskita Karya and five creditors regarding debt restructuring of Rp. 19.3 trillion.
