In us, the 2023 State Budget will maintain how Indonesia's economic foundations are getting better, improving the quality of human resources, infrastructure, and agencies that have such an important role," he said.

The state treasurer ensures support through the APBN budget allocation to support various operations and coaching and improve the quality of human resources, including in terms of equipment.

"We continue to support the budget.
