DIVIDEN BUMN KE NEGARA SANGAT KECIL !! BUMN BERASA ORMAS MINTA JATAH KE PAJAK MULU ?- Mardigu Wowiek

Summary

The transcript highlights concerns about Indonesia's national budget (APBN), focusing on its imbalance between revenue and expenditure. Despite significant contributions from private businesses and taxes, the budget remains inefficient, with most funds going toward routine expenses like salaries and subsidies. The role of state-owned enterprises (BUMN) is criticized for wasting resources, with inefficiency in project management and inflated costs. The speaker calls for a shift toward supporting private businesses by eliminating barriers, ensuring better policy, and reducing corruption, arguing that this could stimulate rapid national growth.

Takeaways

• 😀 The national budget (APBN) has two main components: income (revenues) and expenditures (spending).
• 😀 The largest part of the government’s expenditure goes to routine costs, including paying off loan interest and subsidies, accounting for approximately 80% of the annual budget.
• 😀 Only about 20% of the national budget is allocated for development, with most of it used for non-productive projects like social assistance (bansos).
• 😀 The government’s inability to significantly grow national revenue is due to the lack of support for small and medium enterprises (UKM) and private entrepreneurs, who contribute 80% of national income.
• 😀 National revenue comes mostly from taxes (80%) and a smaller share (20%) from non-tax revenues, with state-owned enterprises (BUMN) contributing a significant portion.
• 😀 In 2024, non-tax revenue (PNBP) is expected to reach around 580 trillion IDR, with significant contributions from natural resources, particularly oil and gas, and dividends from BUMN.
• 😀 While BUMN contributes significant revenue through taxes and dividends, the private sector is often unfairly taxed without receiving benefits or government support in return.
• 😀 There is a conflict between BUMN and private businesses, as BUMN often sees private companies as competitors and markets, yet their profits are low despite large-scale operations.
• 😀 BUMN tends to build more projects, even those that have already been developed by private companies, leading to inefficient spending due to government-backed facilities and subsidies.
• 😀 Private companies can build projects (like factories, infrastructure, etc.) much cheaper and faster than BUMN, but government projects are often much more expensive due to inefficiencies.
• 😀 The government is encouraged to focus on supporting private businesses with favorable policies, protection, and ease of access to capital, which could lead to rapid economic growth.
• 😀 If the government shifts focus to private enterprises and removes inefficient BUMN projects, it could potentially triple the country’s growth rate within a short period.

Q & A

What does the term 'APBN' stand for and what are its two main components?

APBN stands for 'Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara,' which translates to the State Budget. The two main components of APBN are 'pendapatan' (revenues) and 'belanja' (expenditures).

What is the primary use of government spending in Indonesia's APBN?

The primary use of government spending in the APBN is for routine costs, such as paying interest on loans, subsidies, and employee salaries. These expenses make up around 80% of the annual budget.

How much of the national budget is allocated for development, and what is it used for?

Only about 20% of the national budget is allocated for development, and much of it is used for social welfare programs, which are not considered highly productive.

What is the main source of Indonesia's national revenue?

The main source of national revenue comes from taxes, contributing around 80% of the country's total revenue. The remaining 20% comes from non-tax revenues, such as income from natural resources and state-owned enterprises.

What are the key contributors to Indonesia's non-tax revenues (PNBP) in 2024?

In 2024, Indonesia's non-tax revenues (PNBP) amount to about 580 trillion IDR, with key contributions from natural resources (235.6 trillion IDR), oil and gas (110.9 trillion IDR), and non-oil and gas sectors (107.8 trillion IDR), as well as dividends from state-owned enterprises.

What is the issue with how state-owned enterprises (BUMN) are viewed and managed?

State-owned enterprises (BUMN) tend to view private businesses as competitors and focus on the public as their market. Despite large businesses, BUMNs often have low profits and inefficient management, resulting in higher costs compared to private companies.

Why does the speaker criticize BUMNs for their project management?

The speaker criticizes BUMNs for building large-scale projects that duplicate private sector efforts. BUMNs receive state facilities, which leads to a market competition where private companies often offer cheaper and faster solutions, achieving the same outcomes at lower costs.

What is the main problem with the way BUMN handles infrastructure projects?

BUMNs often undertake large-scale infrastructure projects that are significantly more expensive and slower to complete than if the same projects were managed by private companies. This inefficiency leads to unnecessary financial burdens.

What is the speaker's suggestion regarding the role of private businesses in Indonesia's economy?

The speaker suggests that private businesses should be given more support and protection through better policies and reduced bureaucratic obstacles. By doing so, the country could experience faster economic growth.

What does the speaker imply about the role of BUMNs in Indonesia's economic development?

The speaker implies that BUMNs are hindering Indonesia's economic growth due to their inefficiency and competition with the private sector. The speaker suggests that shutting down BUMNs and focusing on empowering private businesses could lead to rapid economic growth.
