JAKARTA - In the midst of the Christmas night atmosphere, the government continues to move quickly to deal with the impact of disasters. The Cabinet Secretary (Seskab) Teddy Indra Wijaya received a visit from the Head of the State-Owned Enterprise Management Agency (BP BUMN), Dony Oskaria, at the Cabinet Secretariat Office, Jakarta, Wednesday (24/12/2025).
This strategic meeting is focused on synchronizing steps to accelerate the recovery of people's lives in disaster-affected areas, by optimizing the vital role of SOEs.
Target Development of 15,000 Housing by SOEs
Seskab Teddy revealed that the main focus at this time is the availability of housing for refugees. SOEs are targeted to complete the construction of thousands of residential houses in a short time.
"In the first week, we target at least 500 units of houses to be completed. This is part of the total 15,000 units that BUMN will work on during December," said the Secretary of the Cabinet, Teddy, in a written statement, Thursday (25/12/2025).
This project runs in parallel with the construction of housing carried out by the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) and the Ministry of Public Works (PU).
Telecommunications and Infrastructure Network Recovery
In addition to housing, the readiness of digital infrastructure is a priority. Seskab Teddy encourages the optimization of the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) owned by SOEs so that it can immediately function normally. This is important to support the coordination of assistance and economic activities of the community in disaster locations.
Operational support in the field is also continuously strengthened with:
Heavy Equipment: Delivery of dozens of units for land clearing. Clean Water Tanks: Ensure the supply of clean water for residents. Labor: Thousands of state-owned enterprises workers were deployed, especially for the recovery of the Aceh Tamiang region.On Christmas Eve: Seskab Teddy Indra Wijaya and the Head of BP BUMN discussed steps to accelerate post-disaster recovery in Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra.

Normalization of Banking and Economic Services
Another strategic agenda is to revive the economic pulse through the acceleration of financial services. The government targets that regional banking operations in affected areas can immediately run normally in the near future.
Seskab Teddy emphasized that synergy between the government and the community is the main key. "All government elements are working as quickly as possible so that community activities return to normal. We are shoulder to shoulder with residents and officers in the field to restore this situation," he concluded.
