JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Finance (Wamenkeu) Suahasil Nazara reminded the ranks of the Directorate General of Financing and Risk Management (DJPPR) to secure financing amid global economic challenges in 2023.
According to him, this year's economic projection is believed to be more dynamic than in 2022.
"This year must be challenging, but we have strong foot. We start with quite strong legs," he said in a press statement on Thursday, January 12.
Suahasil explained that what is meant by strong feet is Indonesia's success in dealing with the pandemic and restoring the economy. He said, Indonesia was recognized as a success by various parties in balancing economic and health recovery due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The government creates policies that are not in the context that there should be no COVID cases at all, but also not in the context that there should be no economic activity at all," he said.
Therefore, continued Suahasil, the Indonesian economy could grow with cases of a controlled pandemic.
"Now what must be considered is how budget financing in 2023 is more efficient to anticipate future financing needs. This is because all forms of financing will definitely have accompanying costs," he stressed.
Deputy Sri Mulyani also encouraged that every withdrawal of funds be accompanied by good governance principles.
"We are financing not only to meet the financing target, but ultimatically is the efficiency of financing," concluded the Deputy Minister of Finance, Suahasil.
