JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has ensured that the government will provide holiday allowances (THR) to civil servants (PNS) this year's Eid.

This assurance was conveyed after Jokowi signed the basic rules regarding the provision of THR and the 13th salary for State Civil Apparatus (ASN), TNI, Polri, Regional ASN, retirees, pension recipients, and other state officials. The signing was carried out on Wednesday, April 13 yesterday.

"I have signed a government regulation regarding the provision of THR and the 13th salary," Jokowi said as quoted from a video uploaded on the Presidential Secretariat's YouTube, Thursday, April 14.

Not only THR, Jokowi ensures that the performance allowance of 50 percent will also be disbursed. It is hoped that this policy can accelerate the recovery of the national economy.

"This policy is a form of appreciation for the contribution of central and regional officials in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic and is expected to increase people's purchasing power and help accelerate the national economic recovery," he stressed.

Jokowi has not detailed the mechanism for disbursing the allowance. Later, the policy that regulates the technical provision will be regulated by the Minister of Finance and regional heads.

"Further provisions regarding the technical provision of THR and the 13th salary will be regulated by a regulation from the Minister of Finance for those sourced from the APBN and a Regional Head Regulation for those sourced from the APBD," he concluded.
