JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Finance (Wamenkeu) Suahasil Nazara encourages a potential budget of IDR 747 trillion, both from the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) and the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) for domestic product procurement spending. "We must encourage this domestic production purchase, no less than IDR 740 trillion for APBN and APBD expenditures that can be used for domestic products," he said in a Webinar 100 Years Eka Tjipta Widjaja in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Monday, October 17. Suahasil merinci dari anggaran Rp747 triliun itu sebesar Rp389,24 triliun diantaranya berasal dari potensi belanja APBD, sedangkan Rp357,8 triliun sisanya dari APBN. He emphasized that the optimization of the Rp747 trillion budget must be carried out immediately because it will be a catalyst to keep the Indonesian economy on a growing path with inflation maintained. Moreover, the state budget, which is a catalyst, is very important for domestic production expenditures, so it must really be utilized according to its duties. Indonesia's own economy is currently in an optimistic condition because it is maintained after the COVID-19 pandemic hit for 2.5 years. On the other hand, Indonesia also remains vigilant because it turns out that the pandemic has left a scarring effect on the economy in terms of supply, namely that the production sector has not been able to respond quickly to demand, resulting in inflation. However, the Indonesian economy must remain on a positive growth path such as the first two quarters of 2022, so one of the catalysts is to optimize domestic product spending. " “APBN as a state budget is a very important catalyst for domestic production spending," said Deputy Minister of Finance Suahasil.
