Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani said the development of digital infrastructure is very significant in Indonesia because the provision of internet access, which is reliable and affordable, is still a challenge, especially in remote areas.

"Therefore, this year, the government is targeting the construction of 300 new base transceiver stations (BTS) and the provision of internet access at more than 9,700 locations," he said at India's G20 Samping Activity 2023: High Level Symposium on Digital Public Infrastructure, quoted from Antara, Saturday, February 25.

He revealed that penetration of cell phone use has reached 77 percent of the total population. People who are active on social media even reach 59 percent or more than half the population.

Currently, the Government of Indonesia is also focusing on developing various digital services for the community, including in the form of an e-government portal, e-taxation, and a system of the Social Security Administering Body (BPJS) on a national scale.

The Ministry of Finance is also serious about digitally transforming, for example through the development of the MPN G3 (third generation state revenue module), a system to manage state revenues much more accurately and on time, and can even process up to 1,000 transactions per second.

Not only that, various applications are also developed to provide the best service for the community, such as e-filing for reporting notification letters (SPT), Indonesia National Single Window (INSW) for synchronizing export-import data, purchasing retail state securities (SBN) systems online, and distributing social assistance directly to recipient accounts to ensure that social assistance is more targeted while increasing financial inclusion.

Sri Mulyani hopes that through this seminar, the opportunity for digital infrastructure development in Indonesia can be more wide open so that various digital services can be enjoyed by all levels of Indonesian society.

Also attending the event were Minister of Finance India Nirmala Sitharaman, Director of International Monetary Fund Implementation (IMF) Crystallina happenedva, Governor of the Central Bank of Brazil Roberto de Oliveira Campos Neto, and General Manager of Bank for International Settlements Agustin Carstens.
