In the Ministry of Finance's (Kemenkeu) report on the *Implementation of the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) First Semester 2022*, spending by ministries and institutions (K/L) reached Rp417.2 trillion in the first half of 2023.

"Up to the first semester of 2023, the realization of K/L spending reached Rp417.2 trillion, or 41.7% of the 2023 APBN allocation," wrote Kemenkeu in its report.

This K/L spending realization is higher compared to the previous period (year-on-year/yoy), which reached Rp393.8 trillion or 41.6% of the 2022 allocation.
