Timses Prabowo-Sandiaga Reveals Sri Mulyani's 'Fake Gift' at the end of 2018
Liputan Net. Jakarta - The achievement of the 2018 State Budget delivered by Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati was greeted with excitement by the government, not least by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).
This achievement is as if it was a year-end gift from the Ministry of Finance which was commanded by the former World Bank Managing Director for the government, especially President Jokowi.
However, Timses Prabowo-Sandi Handi Risza questioned the fundamental matter of the end-of-year gift, namely whether the impact was also significant on improving people's welfare.
According to him, the achievement of the 2018 State Budget has not been strong enough to drive the national economy, as well as several economic indicators such as poverty and unemployment.
The government's achievement is reflected in the realization of state revenues in the 2018 State Budget as of the end of December 2018 through 102.5% or equivalent to Rp. 1,942.3 trillion or 102.5% of the APBN target which amounted to Rp. 1,894.7 trillion.
Then, the realization of state expenditures up to the end of December 2018 was IDR 2,202.2 trillion or 99.2% of the target of IDR 2,220.7 trillion. The budget deficit of the state income and expenditure or the 2018 state budget is IDR 259.9 trillion or 1.76 percent of the Gross Domestic Product from the target of IDR 325.9 or 2.19% in the 2019 State Budget.
"The government's budget achievement has not been strong enough to boost economic growth until the end of 2018," Handi said in a statement, Jakarta, Thursday (01/03/2019).
He said, the government predicted that throughout 2018 the economy would only grow 5.15% or not reach the 2018 State Budget target of 5.4%.
"This means that the tax sector growth which reaches 13.2% has not been positively correlated with the economy. Likewise the performance of state expenditure to increase economic growth has not significantly raised the national economy," he said.
In general, said Handi, the performance of the tax sector is still not optimal. As of the end of December 2018, tax revenues reached Rp 1,315.9 trillion or 92.4% of the target of Rp 1,424.00 trillion in the 2018 State Budget. In other words, the tax shortfall still reached Rp108.1 trillion in taxes.
"This figure is far wider than the target of the Government which estimates the tax shortfall to be around Rp. 73.1 trillion," he explained.
In addition, Handi revealed, the factor of the increase in world oil prices, which affected the price of Indonesia's oil reference (ICP), contributed to boosting state revenues in the 2018 State Budget. Throughout this year, ICP moved in the price range of US $ 59-77 per barrel. At the end of last November, ICP reached US $ 62.98 per barrel. In fact, the assumption of oil prices in the 2018 State Budget is only US $ 48 per barrel.
Therefore, Handi considered that the windfall or windfall obtained by the government had not been able to boost the national economy in 2018 to be better than in previous years.
"The difference between the assumptions of the state budget and the movement of world oil prices makes state revenues from the oil and gas sector automatically increase sharply, both from taxes and other non-tax revenues," he explained.
Meanwhile, the contribution of the world oil price can be seen in the receipt of oil and gas PPh of Rp. 64.7 trillion or reaching 156% of the 2018 state budget target of Rp. 38.13 trillion. Similarly, Non-Tax State Revenues (PNBP). PNBP reached Rp 407.1 trillion or 147.8% of the 2018 State Budget target of Rp275.42 trillion. Where the contribution of oil and gas PNBP per Nov 2918 reached Rp.119.82 trillion or around 149.13% of the 2018 State Budget.
In the realization of the 2018 State Budget, the government is still digging the hole in the hole because the negative primary balance value is Rp 1.8 trillion.
Likewise with poverty and unemployment rates. According to him, the poverty rate as of the end of December 2018, which reached 9.82%, could not yet describe the Government's performance in reducing poverty. The average decline in poverty is even slower. From 2015 to 2018, the reduction in poverty rates averaged only 0.88% compared to the previous period which reached 3.4%.
While the unemployment rate reached 5.34% at the end of 2018. The decline in the unemployment rate in the last four years averaged only 0.84%, far from the previous period which reached 2.0%.
