        "content": "<p>Housing and Settlement Areas Minister Maruarar Sirait has stated that\nthe Home Renovation Programme, or Self-Help Housing Stimulant Assistance\n(BSPS), the reduction in financing interest rates for PT PNM, and the\nPeople\u2019s Business Credit (KUR) for Housing, represent President Prabowo\nSubianto\u2019s commitment to siding with low-income communities (MBR).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a complete package and the target recipients are MBR, so\nit\u2019s not just about building their houses but also their economy,\u201d Ara\nsaid in Batu City, East Java, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that this year President Prabowo Subianto has increased the\nBSPS quota to 400,000 from 45,000 in 2025. For the KUR Perumahan\nprogramme, the government has waived the collateral requirement for\nceilings below Rp100 million, with an interest rate of 0.5 percent per\nmonth and 6 percent per annum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe interest rate for PNM has now been reduced to 8 percent. Last\nyear, President Prabowo made the Land and Building Rights Acquisition\nFee (BPHTB) and Building Approval (PBG) free of charge, which were\npreviously paid. This is part of the state\u2019s intervention,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>During his visit to Batu City, Minister Ara was accompanied by the\nHead of the Housing Task Force, Hashim Djojohadikusumo. The Minister\nemphasised that the key success indicator for the BSPS programme is\ntransforming previously uninhabitable houses into decent living\nspaces.<\/p>\n<p>Because the programme focuses on MBR, the government under Prabowo\u2019s\nleadership has committed to continuously striving to do its best.\n\u201cObstacles will always exist, but we are fighting for the people, and\nthe benefits are returned to the people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>At the same location, Head of the Housing Task Force Hashim\nDjojohadikusumo added that the home renovation programme is being\nstrengthened by other initiatives. \u201cThere is a free certification\nprogramme, with the hope that the government can provide free\ncertificates to 2 million heads of families every year, specifically for\nMBR,\u201d he stated.<\/p>",
