Ministry of Finance continually identifies the obstacles of budget
absorption, specifically on the government’s capital expenditure, which
are faced by ministries/institutions (K/L) this year. Vice Minister of
Finance I Anny Ratnawati, who were encountered yesterday, stated that a
qualified capital expenditure absorption may create employment, so that
the economy can be accelerated.
“Therefore, capital expenditure may not be delayed because we really
concern in encouraging all ministries/institutions,” she explained. She
added, Ministry of Finance has also summoned 20 K/L with large budget,
which have difficulties to absorb it promptly. In the meeting, K/Ls were
asked to explain the obstacles faced in terms of budget absorption. “We
have already gathered ministries and institutions, the 20 largest, to
detect the causes, why it is not disbursed yet. It is because the
regulation of goods and services procurement has been revised, are there
other matters? Regarding blockage, it has decreased significantly,” he
added.
She continued, Directorate General Treasury will evaluate the result
and find the best formula to solve the problems. “They warned to be more
careful in terms of documents, and prepared programs, then as soon as
the information received, it is collected by the Directorate General of
Treasury,” she stated. She expects that with these efforts, the
government’s budget management in the future will be more qualified, so
the main objectives of the development will be on target.
