The Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) reported that the realization of spending by ministries/institutions (K/L) in the first semester of 2024 reached Rp487.4 trillion. This figure is up 16.82% year-on-year (yoy) compared to the same period last year, which realized Rp417.2 trillion.

The realization of K/L spending in the first half of this year is equivalent to 44.7% of the 2024 State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) target of Rp1,090.2 trillion.

The Ministry of Defense is recorded as the K/L with the largest spending realization in the first semester of 2024. The ministry, headed by Prabowo Subianto, has spent Rp65.3 trillion, or 46.9% of the 2024 APBN allocation.
