The Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) stated that the government continues to distribute social assistance to eligible citizens, both through the National Economic Recovery (PEN) program and non-PEN programs.

During the January-March 2022 period, the government spent almost Rp81 trillion on social protection. This comprises Rp22.6 trillion from the PEN budget and Rp58.3 trillion from the non-PEN budget.

Social protection spending through ministries and institutions (K/L) includes assistance for the Family Hope Program (PKH), Sembako Cards, National Health Insurance (JKN) contributions, the Smart Indonesia Program (PIP), and the Smart Indonesia Card (KIP).

Non-K/L spending includes fuel (BBM) and LPG subsidies.

Kemenkeu recorded a 2.46-fold increase in BBM subsidy realization in Q1 2022 to Rp3.2 trillion compared to Q1 of the previous year. LPG subsidies also increased 2.1 times to Rp21.6 trillion during the same period.

The surge in commodity prices also forced the government to increase social assistance, such as direct cash assistance for cooking oil.

Compared to Q1 2021, social protection budget realization in Q1 of this year decreased by 12.72%.

According to Finance Minister Sri Mulyani in a press release for the *Our State Budget Conference, April 2022 Edition* on Wednesday (20/4/2022), this decrease occurred because the government reduced the PEN budget in 2022 as part of fiscal consolidation efforts.
