On the other hand, state spending was recorded at IDR 287.8 trillion, growing 1.8 percent yoy or 9.4 percent of the target. Then, the primary balance reached IDR 182.2 trillion.
"So our state budget is still a total surplus. Primary balance is also a surplus of 182.2 trillion," he added.
For information, the primary balance is the total state revenue minus state spending outside of debt interest payments.
This primary balance is also an indicator that reflects the government's ability to pay debt interest.
