Whoosh Debt Payment
The Presidential Palace previously stated that discussions about the debt repayment scheme for the Jakarta-Bandung Whoosh high-speed train project have entered the finalization stage.
State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi signaled that the Whoosh debt would be paid using funds from the State Budget (APBN).
Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa responded to this. He admitted that he was involved in the discussions about the Whoosh debt.
However, when asked about his approval of paying the Whoosh debt using APBN, Purbaya said the Ministry of Finance would consider the requirements requested by Chinese creditors.
"We'll look at the conditions from China, what their requirements are. If I'm the one paying, I'll [go] to China. But I don't know yet, I'll double-check again," said Purbaya.
