The Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) reported that the budget allocation for social protection (perlinsos) in the 2024 State Budget (APBN) is Rp496.8 trillion.

Sri Mulyani, Minister of Finance, detailed the allocation by category, including:

This fund is for energy subsidies such as fuel (BBM), LPG, and electricity; non-energy subsidies such as fertilizer subsidies, PSO (Public Service Obligation), KUR interest, housing loan interest, and disaster mitigation. Assistance is channeled to executors, including PLN and Pertamina.
* Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) Rp75.6 trillion. This fund is for the Basic Food Card Program (Program Keluarga Harapan/PKH) and social rehabilitation assistance.

* Village Direct Cash Assistance (BLT) Rp10.7 trillion.

"This is to provide an overview of how the APBN, which has allocated Rp496 trillion for social protection, directly protects the community. Therefore, the realization goes directly to each program," said Sri Mulyani in the *APBN Kita* press conference on Monday (25/4/2023).
