Bambang admitted that the increase in PTKP, aimed at maintaining the people's purchasing
power, will slightly reduce the state's tax receipts, particularly income tax receipts. However, the
government is also ready to step up efforts to uphold the law.
"We hope that the plan, if implemented, will contribute to the efforts to strengthening the
people's purchasing power. State receipts will decrease, but it will be compensated with intensive
efforts by the directorate general of taxation, including the tax auditing of individual taxpayers,"
the minister stressed.

"The nine percent interest rate subsidy has been provided, and this information can be obtained
by inquiring with KUR distributor and executing banks," Bobby explained.
He said the government had set aside Rp10.4 trillion in the state budget to support the subsidized
interest rate of nine percent. With this subsidy, the distributor banks target to channel KUR
credits worth Rp120 trillion this year.
Bobby has forecast that the target can be achieved even before the end of the year.
The government has not yet planned to increase the amount of KUR credits through the next
2016 revised state budget as it is too risky to widen the budget deficit, which has been
maintained at 2.15 percent of the gross domestic product.
Bobby also believes that the faster availability of KUR credits in the coming quarters would be
fueled by the increase in the number of KUR credit distributors.
Earlier, only a handful of banks acted as the distributors. Now, financing institutions and
cooperatives can also function as KUR credit distributors.
Until April 18, four financing companies were still completing the administrative process to
become new KUR distributors.
The KUR credits until this month had been channeled by seven banks: Bank Negara Indonesia,
Bank Rakyat Indonesia, Bank Mandiri, Bank Sinarmas, Bank Maybank, Bank Pembangunan
Kalimantan Barat, and Bank Pembangunan NTT.
Edy Putra Irawady, the deputy for industry and commercial coordination of the Office of the
Chief Economic Minister, stated on the same occasion that the government was keen to channel
the KUR credits equitably among all Indonesian regions.
The ministry's statistical data indicated that until the end of March this year, the realization of
KUR credits in Central Java had reached Rp6 trillion; East Java, Rp5 trillion; and West Java,
Rp4.5 trillion.
For Sumatra, the highest KUR provision was recorded in North Sumatra, reaching Rp1.1 trillion.
The provision of KUR credits in Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku, Papua, and Nusa Tenggara was
still generally below one trillion. South Sulawesi, with a credit provision of Rp2.6 trillion, was
the only province to have exceeded one trillion rupiah. The realization of KUR in Bali was
recorded at Rp1.6 trillion until March 2016.

Earlier, the government formed regional inflation control teams ( TPID ) to control inflation in
the regions. Currently, there are 451 TPID set up across the country.
Agus explained that during the 2005 to 2010 period, Indonesias inflation rate stood at 8.5
percent. In 2010 to 2015, it went down to 5.8 percent and by the end of 2015, it had further
declined to 3.35 percent. As of March 2016, Indonesias inflation was 4.45 percent.
The central bank governor said through closer coordination of the central government and local
administrations, Indonesias inflation was expected to fall below 5 percent.
"With the regional coordination forums, it is expected that economic growth in the regions will
improve, which will eventually boost the peoples welfare," he added.
Finance Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro said the central government urged all local
administrations to use their regional budgets efficiently. With an increase in regional transfer
funds, it was expected all regions could contribute to the countrys economic growth.
"The transfer funds will decrease the burden of the central government but it is also expected that
economic growth should increase, driven by the improved economy of the regions. Overall, it
should begin with sound spending policies," he explained.
In the 2016 state budget, the central government is set to transfer Rp770 trillion ( US$58.20
billion ) to regions and villages throughout the country. ( ebf )
