Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — Indonesia’s Finance Minister Sri Mulyani announced that President Prabowo Subianto 11 priority programs absorbs Rp446 trillion (approximately $27 billion) from the national budget (APBN).
In a post shared on her official Instagram account @smindrawati, Tuesday (June 3, 2025), Sri Mulyani emphasized that the APBN remains a vital tool for improving the welfare of the Indonesian people.
She noted that amid ongoing global geopolitical and economic uncertainty, the national budget also acts as a shock absorber to protect the economy.
The move aims to safeguard consumer purchasing power, support businesses, create job opportunities, and sustain economic growth momentum.
“In response to ongoing global uncertainty, the government has prepared a series of countercyclical policy packages funded through state spending,” Finance Minister Sri Mulyani wrote on her official Instagram account.
She added that the government is also accelerating and ensuring the effectiveness of several of President Prabowo’s key priority programs.
Among the 11 priority programs of President Prabowo, the Merah Putih Village Cooperatives Program has received the largest budget allocation, amounting to Rp200 trillion (approximately $12.3 billion).
This is followed by the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program, with Rp121 trillion. On the other end of the spectrum, the Tuberculosis Eradication Program will receive the smallest share, at Rp1.5 trillion.
