The Ministry of Finance reported that the budget realization for the Covid-19 Handling and National Economic Recovery (PC-PEN) program reached Rp168.3 trillion until August 5, 2022. This means that only 36.9% of the total allocated budget of Rp455.62 trillion has been absorbed.
According to Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, the performance of PC-PEN in 2022 was driven by the realization in the community protection program cluster. Meanwhile, the realization in the economic recovery program cluster remains significantly behind.
