JAKARTA - BUMN companies in the energy, pharmaceutical and mineral clusters are contributors to the increase in SOE revenue in 2021 which reached IDR 2,292.5 trillion, an increase of 18.8 percent compared to the previous year.

Deputy for Finance and Risk Management of the Ministry of SOEs, Nawal Nely, in submitting the Socialization Report on the Performance of the 2022 SOEs, said that the increase in SOE income was contributed by the increasing volume of sales of BUMN products in energy clusters.

"Employees who donate due to increased sales volume. Because in 2020, as we know the sales volume has decreased significantly due to the lockdown," said Nawal Nely, quoted from Antara, Wednesday, September 28.

The income of all SOEs grew from Rp1,920 trillion in 2020 to Rp2,292.5 trillion in 2021, an increase of 18.8 percent on an annual basis. This is due to sales growth, which is the largest component supported by financial income.

In addition to the energy cluster, the increase in revenue in 2021 is also contributed by the pharmaceutical cluster, namely through efforts to handle Covid-19 through vaccination, prevention, and medicines.
