        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has ordered a halt to uncoordinated government procurement of similar goods across ministries and regions, aiming to enforce strict fiscal discipline. The government projects that consolidating purchases and expanding digital catalogues could save up to 30% of the Rp1,200 trillion procurement budget, or around Rp360 trillion. The savings are intended to be redirected towards public services such as schools and healthcare facilities.",
        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has stressed the importance of strict\nfiscal discipline, not only at the budget approval stage but also in the\nexecution of every rupiah of the state budget (APBN). The Head of State\nhas instructed a halt to the use of the budget for procuring similar\ngoods separately by ministries, agencies, and regional governments.\nPrabowo highlighted the inefficiency caused by repeated procurement\nprocesses without coordination. According to him, procurement with the\nsame specifications should be consolidated in large volumes to\nstrengthen the state\u2019s bargaining power. \u201cWe must stop the APBN being\nused to buy the same goods without coordination,\u201d he asserted. Based on\ndata from the National Public Procurement Agency (LKPP), the\nconsolidation of procurement at the regional government level has shown\npositive results. Efficiency was recorded at 20.86% in 2025 and\nincreased to 25.43% in 2026. The government plans to expand this\nmechanism nationally. The potential savings from this measure are\nconsidered very significant. With total procurement spending reaching\napproximately Rp1,200 trillion, the implementation of consolidation,\nelectronic catalogues, and data-based planning is projected to yield\nefficiency gains of up to 30%. \u201cThe efficiency could reach around Rp360\ntrillion. This is not a small figure,\u201d Prabowo stated. As a concrete\nstep, the government will strengthen the LKPP institution into a\nGovernment Procurement Agency. This body will later coordinate the needs\nof various agencies, standardise goods specifications, and unify the\nvolume of needs to be more efficient. In addition to consolidation,\ndigitalisation is a main pillar in this transformation. Prabowo\nemphasised that the entire procurement process must be conducted\ndigitally to ensure transparency, healthy competition, and\naccountability in the use of public funds. The President concluded by\naffirming that every rupiah saved must be redirected for the direct\nbenefit of the people. The budget will be focused on building\nclassrooms, community health centres, hospitals, and improving the\ngeneral quality of life for the people.<\/p>",
