The Government has discussed the preparation for Eid Festivity Allowance (THR) and 13th month salary bonus for state civil apparatus that will be paid this year.
“I have reported to the President that we are preparing to disburse the THR and the 13th month salary bonus, as stated in the 2024 State Budget,” said Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati after attending an internal meeting, Monday (02/19), at the State Palace, Jakarta.
The preparation includes drafting the bill of Government Regulation on the disbursement of 2024 THR and 13th month salary. Minister of Finance emphasized that the preparation has already begun to ease the disbursement, which is expected to be paid ten days prior to Eid.
“The drafting of the bill of Government Regulation and other preparations have been started, so we hope that we will be able to execute it as soon as possible, then it can be paid ten days before the Eid,” she added.
During the meeting, the Minister also reported the progress of 2024 state budget balance, particularly on changes in expenditure that need to be adjusted.
“Budget adjustment is like what we just did a moment ago, direct cash assistance, staple food assistance, and last year’s expenditure that we need to pay this year,” said the Minister. (PR of Ministry of Finance/UN) (AY/MUR)
