00:00The cut of state budget and state institutions at the beginning or middle of the year
00:04did not happen this time.
00:06President Jokowi Dodo once did it in 2016,
00:09just when Sri Mulyani was appointed as Minister of Finance
00:12to replace Bambang Brojonegoro.
00:15The budget cut continued in the following year.
00:18People then knew him as the Auto Adjustment or Budget Blocker.
00:24However, the policy carried out by President Prabowo Subianto
00:27through the President's Instruction or INPRES
00:29No. 1 of 2025 on the efficiency of spending in the implementation of income budget
00:35and state spending and income budget
00:38and spending in the budget year 2025
00:42was different from the previous one.
00:45Not only the contrast,
00:46the budget cut of the era of Prabowo also worried
00:50both in its process and its impact on good budget policy
00:55and sustainable economic growth.
00:58The President's Instruction No. 4 of 2016
01:01on the steps of spending and budget cut of ministries or institutions
01:06in the implementation of the State Budget in 2016.
01:10In Jokowi's era,
01:12when replacing Bambang Brojonegoro,
01:14Sri Mulyani at that time proposed saving in 2016
01:19because he saw the country's acceptance far from the target.
01:23To reduce the spread of deficit,
01:25Sri Mulyani chose to reduce spending.
01:28He frozen APBN.
01:30It means that the program is still there,
01:33but the budget is not flowing.
01:35Just like now,
01:37the budget that was blocked in 2016
01:39is an activity that is considered unproductive,
01:42such as service trip,
01:44close package,
01:45power and services,
01:47team honorarium or activities,
01:50close fee,
01:51advertisement,
01:52office operational,
01:54office building construction,
01:56operational service vehicle,
01:58activity budget that has not been signed a contract,
02:01as well as activities that are unproductive
02:05or can be continued to the next budget year.
02:08Just like the Impress No. 1 of 2025
02:12issued by Prabowo,
02:14Impress No. 4 of 2016
02:16includes the size of the budget that will be saved.
02:20The difference is,
02:21if in Impress No. 1 of 2025,
02:24Prabowo has locked the budget of saving
02:28Rp. 306.6 trillion,
02:32Rp. 256 trillion from the budget of the Ministry and Institutions,
02:37as well as Rp. 50.5 trillion from the transfer funds to the region.
02:42In Impress No. 4 of 2016,
02:45saving is still in the form of a target,
02:47which is Rp. 50.16 trillion.
02:51The target of saving is only for the central government's spending.
02:55Jokowi does not touch the transfer funds to the region
02:58because it is the right of each regional government.
03:02Jokowi, under the influence of Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani,
03:04wants to secure APBN by saving all expenses
03:08that can be subsidized throughout the Ministry and Institutions without exception.
03:13While Prabowo, under the influence of his close people,
03:17namely Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi
03:20and Deputy Chairperson of the People's Representatives' Council,
03:22Suf Midasko Ahmad,
03:24even though the Minister of Finance is still in Sri Mulyani's office,
03:27tries to cut the budget
03:29so that it can meet the needs of large cabinet spending
03:33as well as priority programs such as free food.
03:37That's why the budget of the Ministry and Institutions of non-high countries is cut.
03:44Meanwhile, the budget of the Ministry of Defense,
03:46Police and the State Budget
03:49are not affected by the budget cut policy.
03:53So that the budget cut by Prabowo looks like efficiency,
03:57the budget cut is a post-tax that is considered a waste.
04:02For example, like office writing or ATK,
04:05close service trips and consultation services.
04:09However, the budget policy in this way
04:12is a waste.
04:14The government, for example,
04:16asks the Ministry and Institutions of non-high countries to cut ATK spending up to 90%.
04:21Whereas, there are some ministries and institutions
04:24whose main work programs are under the ATK budget,
04:27such as the issuance of a resident card.
04:31The government also asks the Ministry and Institutions to cut
04:3353.9% of the budget for service trips.
04:37Whereas, there are institutions whose budget is measured through service trips,
04:42such as Ombudsman,
04:43which needs a lot of trips to gather information
04:47and solve public service violations.
