JAKARTA Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani Indrawati is known to continue to convey the important role of the state budget as an instrument to strengthen Indonesia's economic resilience. He said this when he visited the Madura region, East Java this week.

According to the Minister of Finance, fiscal instruments are very strategic for development. In Madura, for example, he explained that various ministry/institutional expenditures in four districts in Madura with details for the 2021 period amounted to Rp1.44 trillion.

"This figure then increased in 2022 to IDR 1.5 trillion and 2023 was allocated IDR 1.59 trillion," he said in a press release as quoted by the editor on Sunday, February 5.

The Minister of Finance explained that the benefits of the APBN were also felt directly by the people in the Madura region in the form of Transfers to Regions (TKD).

In 2021 it will be allocated Rp6.57 trillion. Then in 2022 it will be Rp7.04 trillion and for 2023 it will be Rp6.89 trillion.

"The funds are realized in various infrastructures, ranging from reservoirs, irrigation, wells, to land to ensure food security," he said.

On this occasion, the state treasurer specifically appreciated the cooperation between the government and the Indonesian House of Representatives, which for the last two years have continued to work together so that the state budget can become a mainstay instrument to reduce various global pressures.

Not to forget, the Minister of Finance also asked regional heads to optimize Tobacco Product Excise (CHT) Revenue Sharing Funds (DBH), both in the health and non-health sectors.

"So that the community will be protected and we can also get acceptance which is then distributed to the community again," he concluded.
