State income

Finance Minister Mar'ie Muhammad emphasized that, based on the Presidential Decision No. 16/1994, all the income of the government departments and institutions can't be spent before they are entered into the State's Account. The minister also stressed the need to uphold discipline in managing the state assets and the budget. In addition, the government must also be more transparent in handling the state finances.

We fully understand the government's vision in financial matters. This vision should be reflected not only in administrative functions but, more importantly, in guaranteeing smooth operations in development projects and creating equal opportunities for both small and large-scale entrepreneurs so they can be involved in national development.
