President Joko Widodo's speech on the 2020 State Budget (APBN) and its Financial Notes stated that the government will provide Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) to 15.6 million families through the Sembako Card. This aims to enable beneficiary families to buy and choose a more diverse range of food.
The amount of assistance received has increased to Rp 1.8 million per family per year, up from Rp 1.32 million per family per year previously. In addition, the government will disburse budget subsidies for National Health Insurance (JKN) premiums to 96.8 million recipients and continue the Family Hope Program (PKH) to 10 million beneficiary families.
In the 2020 Financial Note speech, the government not only focused on the less fortunate. The government will also prepare programs to support ultra-micro businesses and MSMEs.
