Impact of IDR200 Trillion Fund Placement: Tax Revenue Increases by IDR100 Trillion
JAKARTA. The government estimates that the policy of placing IDR200 trillion in several state-owned banks will boost tax revenue by IDR100 trillion.
This estimate is based on calculations by Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa. According to him, the IDR200 trillion fund placement will stimulate the national economy.
As quoted from CNBCIndonesia.com, every time the national economy, measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), grows by 0.5%, it will result in an additional tax revenue of IDR100 trillion.
For context, the government and the House of Representatives (DPR) have agreed on a tax revenue target in the 2026 Draft State Budget (RAPBN 2026) of IDR2,693.7 trillion.
Breaking it down, the target consists of tax revenue of IDR2,357.7 trillion and customs and excise revenue of IDR336 trillion.
As is known, the government has previously placed Rp200 trillion in five state-owned banks, namely:
- BRI: IDR55 trillion
- BNI: IDR55 trillion
- Mandiri: IDR55 trillion
- BTN: IDR25 trillion
- BSI: IDR10 trillion
With this capital injection, Purbaya believes lending rates will fall, allowing more credit to be distributed, thereby boosting economic activity.
The decision regarding this fund placement is stipulated in the Minister of Finance Decree (KMK) No. 276 of 2025, which came into effect on Friday (12/9). (ASP/KEN)
