Second, the budget for implementing state revenue management is proposed at IDR3.62 trillion. That ceiling is intended, among others, to support the integration of export-import and logistics business processes and to prevent and handle international tax disputes.

Third, the state expenditure management programme requires a budget of IDR23.78 billion. With that budgetary support, the MoF will enhance the management capacity of village-owned enterprises (badan usaha milik desa/BUMDes tempat penimbunan berikat) and red-and-white village/subdistrict cooperatives.
It will also strengthen local financing regulations, the development of tax potential and user charges. In addition, it will modernise budgeting systems or applications, improve capacity and local financial management and enhance budgeting and social security policies.
Fourth, treasury management, state assets and risk require a budget of IDR267.58 billion. Activities to be implemented include guaranteeing the government's ability to implement the energy independence programme and accelerating infrastructure investment through creative financing.
Subsequently, this will optimise auction services, the management and consumption of state property (barang milik negara/BMN in Indonesian), develop thematic maps of state property and modernise the oversight and strengthening of government accounting capabilities.
Fifth, the fiscal policy, financial sector, and economic programme with a budget of IDR78.86 billion. The policies targeted for the coming year include debottlenecking harmonisation to accelerate investment and economic transformation.
Further, this will optimise customs valuation policies resulting from international negotiations, optimise non-tax state revenues in the telecommunications sector, strengthen the professional ecosystem supporting the financial sector and implement governance policies for international development cooperation.
Purbaya further stated that the proposed ceiling of IDR49.80 trillion is used to carry out 3 functions: the general services function at IDR45.50 trillion, the economic function at IDR300.44 billion and the education function at IDR3.99 trillion.
