JAKARTA - Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa stated that the government's Budget Surplus (SAL) position remained at a strong level until the end of 2025 even though some of the funds had been used to support the financing of the State Budget (APBN).

Purbaya explained that the initial balance of the SAL in 2025 was recorded at Rp457.54 trillion and throughout the year, the government has used Rp93.15 trillion from the fund to help finance the state budget.

At the same time, the government recorded a surplus of the Budget Financing (SiLPA) of IDR 72.40 trillion and made a number of other adjustments, so that the SAL position as of December 31, 2025 was recorded at IDR 438.26 trillion.

"This balance remains at an adequate level and serves as a fiscal buffer in the face of various risks and uncertainties in the future," he said in the plenary session of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Thursday, July 2.

According to him, the size of the SAL provides sufficient fiscal space for the government to maintain the stability of the state budget if there is economic turmoil or urgent financing needs.

In terms of the balance sheet, the government's financial statements show a solid condition, namely, as of December 31, 2025, the total government assets were recorded at Rp. 14,600.98 trillion, while the total liabilities reached Rp. 11,527.29 trillion, so that the value of the government's equity reached Rp. 3,073.69 trillion.

Purbaya assessed that the position reflects the country's still strong net wealth, as well as showing the government's fiscal capacity in supporting the sustainable development agenda.

Meanwhile, on the operational report, the government recorded revenues of IDR 3,006.42 trillion. However, the operational burden which reached IDR 3,429.51 trillion caused an operational deficit of IDR 423.09 trillion.

In addition, non-operational activities also recorded a deficit of IDR 109.91 trillion, so that the total deficit in the operational report throughout 2025 reached IDR 532.99 trillion.

In the cash flow report, operating activities recorded a negative net cash flow of IDR 243.90 trillion and investment activities also recorded a negative cash flow of IDR 712.07 trillion, while transitory activities experienced a negative cash flow of IDR 44.16 trillion.

On the other hand, funding activities generated positive cash flows of IDR 828.37 trillion, which were able to support the government's financing needs throughout the year.

Purbaya emphasized that negative cash flow in investment activities does not reflect a weakening of fiscal conditions, however, it shows the magnitude of the government's commitment to financing productive investments to support national development.

"The cash flow from negative investment activities reflects the government's strong commitment to continue to carry out productive investments to encourage the acceleration of national development," he explained.
