00:00Ladies and gentlemen,

00:02We are aware that

00:04in carrying out our responsibilities

00:06as a government agency,

00:08we are indeed

00:10dependent on the needs provided.

00:12However,

00:14in this uncertain

00:16global economic situation,

00:18it is important for every agency

00:20under the PKKW

00:22to take steps

00:24towards independence.

00:26I have stated this

00:28many times in the past,

00:30namely, to change

00:32the attitude of being forced

00:34to the cost center, to the profit center.

00:38However, I repeat this

00:40so that we

00:42can stay focused

00:44and find a way

00:46to be independent

00:48while maintaining our own interests

00:50and not too dependent on the

00:52profit of the state.

00:54The success of

00:56Kerkera has announced

00:58the number of

01:00interim benefits

01:02which is

01:04129 million rupiahs

01:06with

01:08an increase of

01:1082 million rupiahs

01:14or 168%

01:16compared to

01:18last year.

01:20It is a success for Kerkera.

01:22Let us give a round of applause.

01:24On this occasion,

01:26I am also proud of

01:28the efforts of Kerkera in

01:30various business opportunities

01:32related to the agricultural sector

01:34and urban development

01:36which has opened up

01:38sectors such as

01:40bio-economy,

01:42renewable energy,

01:44and also the export of

01:46source-based products.

01:48These sectors offer

01:50great potential

01:52for the development

01:54and expansion of the global

01:56economic community.
