Challenges Of SOE Mergers

Previously, the President Director of PT Pembangunan Perumahan (Persero) Tbk (PTPP) Novel Arsyad said, there were a number of challenges that led to the slow merger process with PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk (WIKA). One of the causes of the slow merger is the results of the evaluation of each company.

According to Novel, currently the merger process is still being processed at the Investment Management Agency (BPI) Daya Anagata Nusantara (Dantara). Danantara has also instructed the State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Karya to conduct an evaluation.

"It's still being processed in Danantara. Danantara is still running. All state-owned construction companies are asked to evaluate the condition of their respective companies. Well, later it will be with consultants, combined, whatever has to be done. (The point is) it's still in process," Novel said when met at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, July 15.

Novel said the evaluation included the financial performance of BUMN Karya, such as debt to project work. According to him, these issues need to be synchronized to anticipate other problems.

"Yes, if I say for sure, right, this company has more and less problems. There are projects, all kinds of things, right. It must be synchronized as to what, so if for example A joins B, or B joins C, it is based on the things reviewed by the consultant earlier. There are many factors, "said Novel.

When asked further, whether the BUMN Karya merger process could be completed this year, Novel could not confirm yet.

"Maybe (tilt), God willing," he concluded.
