JAKARTA - The Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) said that dividends that have the potential to be distributed in 2024 worth IDR 80.2 trillion, consisting of IDR 53.7 trillion from BUMN Tbk and IDR 26.5 trillion from non-Tbk BUMNs.

"From IDR 80.2 trillion, from BUMN Tbk, we predict it will be IDR 53.7 trillion, then for non-Tbk it is IDR 26.5 trillion. This is why we will also push for the name of this dividend. It depends only on Himbara, but we encourage other business groups to be able to pay good dividends so that these figures can be maintained," said BUMN Minister Erick Thohir during a joint working meeting with Commission VI of the DPR, quoted from Antara, Friday, June 16.

This number has not changed with the dividend target in 2023, which is also IDR 80.2 trillion.

"Of course, with the conditions of 2023, if we look at commodity data, it has started to decline and also the global pressure situation. If we look at several countries themselves, of course, high inflation and disrupted supply chains, but we are still at the Ministry of SOEs, at least trying to equalize our dividends. give like this year, actually even though it's quite heavy," said Erick.

The reason, he said, is that the BUMN Ministry in 2023 is targeting BUMN revenue of IDR 3,000 trillion, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of IDR 600 trillion, and net income of IDR 250 trillion.

"Because this is so heavy? It means that there are revenue targets, EBITDA, and net income that we must maintain, namely revenue of IDR 3.000 trillion and EBITDA of IDR 600 trillion, and the net income must be IDR 250 trillion," said Erick.

He emphasized that the figures submitted were currently only targets, not definite figures to be obtained because it was still the middle of the year.

"It's actually still June, so we also can't say that this is a definite figure, but this is the target that the ministry is doing and we are also encouraging all SOEs to reach the figures that we have implemented as their respective KPI (key performance indicators). -each director at that time," he said.

"God willing, we have reviewed these two weeks, we are still confident in this figure, although of course we can see a 6-month journey if the global economic situation is of course more difficult, but today we still see this figure," he continued.
