"The highest dividend in history is IDR 81 trillion and we will continue to increase it next year if possible IDR 85 trillion," he said, met at Pondok Indah Mall, South Jakarta, Tuesday, February 13.

Furthermore, Erick said that this dividend achievement is proof that state companies can contribute to state revenues. Erick said the dividend was supported by various transformations carried out.

"We have carried out an extraordinary transformation. You can see from the data, our assets used to be IDR 6,000 trillion. In 3.5 years our assets have reached IDR 10,000 trillion. This is extraordinary," he said.

Even during the COVID-19 pandemic that caused the whole world to experience a health crisis that had an impact on the country's economy, Erick said that SOEs had actually managed to reap profits.
