President Prabowo Subianto Wednesday (09/10) received a report from Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa and his team at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, on the progress of the ongoing State Budget (APBN) deliberations with the House of Representatives (DPR).

“We are presenting the outcome of budget deliberations with the DPR,” the Minister said in his press statement after a meeting with President Prabowo.

On that occasion, Purbaya underscored that the figures in the draft State Budget (APBN) remain preliminary, as they have not yet been finalized with the DPR.

He also explained that changes may occur, but details cannot yet be disclosed while deliberations are still in progress.

“As for potential budget changes, I cannot provide details at this stage since discussions with the House of Representatives are still ongoing,” he said.

In addition, the Minister stated that the report submitted to the President covered the entire State Budget, adding that his office has no authority to disclose anything before the DPR made its official decision.

“The entire State Budget is still under discussion,” the Minister remarked. (BPMI of Presidential Secretariat) (RIF/MMB)
