DPR Approves Rp 5 Trillion Additional Budget For 7 Coordinating Ministries
Tuesday, 03 Dec 2024
Seven coordinating ministries from the Red and White Cabinet have proposed an additional budget for the 2025 fiscal year to the Budget Committee of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI). This budget increase is necessary due to the reclassification of ministries, which has expanded to a total of 48 ministries within the Red and White Cabinet.
The details of the proposed budget increases for 2025 include the Coordinating Ministry for Food (Kemenko Pangan) requesting IDR 505.91 billion, the Coordinating Ministry for Community Empowerment (Kemenko Pemberdayaan Masyarakat) seeking IDR 653.77 billion, and the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs (Kemenko Perekonomian) asking for IDR 64.20 billion.
Additionally, the Coordinating Ministry for Political and Security Affairs (Kemenko Polkam) has requested an increase of IDR 3 trillion, while the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture (Kemenko PMK) has proposed IDR 360.33 billion.
Furthermore, the proposal from the Coordinating Ministry for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections (Kemenko Kumham Imipas) amounts to IDR 325 billion, and the Coordinating Ministry for Infrastructure and Regional Development (Kemenko Infra) has requested IDR 273.14 billion.
In total, the additional budget request for the 2025 fiscal year from these seven coordinating ministries amounts to IDR 5,182,374,427,000. This additional budget proposal was ultimately approved by the Budget Committee of the DPR RI during a working meeting with the coordinating ministers of the Red and White Cabinet at the DPR building in Jakarta on Monday, December 2, 2024.
The proposal has been approved, and we request a period of three months for discussion with the government. Is this acceptable?" inquired the Chairman of the Budget Committee of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Said Abdullah. This question was met with immediate agreement from the committee members and participants, who responded, "Agreed." Subsequently, the approved proposal will be discussed by the Indonesian House of Representatives, the Ministry of Finance, and the National Development Planning Agency.
"We request a three-month timeframe for the government to deliberate. Ideally, this should be completed by early January, as we have been sharing information with Bappenas and the Minister of Finance over the past three days. It is important to note that the government has a revenue requirement of approximately Rp 500 trillion in November and December. Therefore, we will ensure that we do not disrupt the government's operations," Said explained.
