What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Finance Ministry and state asset fund Danantara are disputing control over dividends from state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in Indonesia, a matter raised during a recent address by President Prabowo Subianto to the House of Representatives. The dispute centers on when and through what mechanism SOE returns should reach the state budget. Then-Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa stated that the Finance Ministry would channel Rp 120 trillion (US$6.76 billion) of SOE dividends into the state budget as a fiscal buffer, following a cabinet meeting with the President. However, Danantara chief operating officer Dony Oskaria stated he did not know about this plan.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The conflict exposes an unresolved question regarding Indonesia's new state-asset architecture. Under the new framework, Danantara manages SOE shares and assets, using returns for investment and capital injections before transferring eventual profits to the state. The disagreement challenges the Finance Ministry's ability to channel these funds into the state budget as national revenue.

The President directed the government to expedite bill passage following joint discussions involving the House of Representatives, and a bill originated in the House of Representatives and is now heading to the President's desk for action.
