RI Debt Penetrates Rp 7,000 Trillion, Sri Mulyani Minister Highlights about Failing to Pay Sri Lanka – Tribunnews.com
TRIBUNNEWS.COM, JAKARTA – The Indonesian government debt has penetrated Rp. 7,000 trillion at the end of February 2022. Quoted from our APBN, data per 28 February stated that the state debt was recorded at Rp 7,014.58 T.
Even so, the government said this debt position was still maintained within safe and reasonable limits, and under control.
Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati even said that the debt ratio to the GDP of the Republic of Indonesia is still smaller compared to other countries ASEAN, G20, and countries around the world.
VOLUNTEER, BUT REJECTED
To maintain the health of the state budget, the debt ratio (Indonesia) includes relatively low measured from ASEAN countries, the G20, and the rest of the world, said Sri Mulyani in the Youtube show of the Financial System Stability Committee quoted by Kompas.com, Friday (15/4/2022).
CASE OF FAILURE TO PAY SRI LANKA
Even so, this state treasurer remains wary of a spike in debt Indonesia. Sri Lankas failure to pay was also Sri Mulyanis spotlight.
Just so you know, Sri Lanka announced it would default on its external debt 51 billion US dollars or equivalent to Rp. 732 trillion (exchange rate of Rp 14,371).
FOREIGN DEBT, PEOPLE START HUNGER
Default announced as last step after Sri Lanka running out of foreign exchange to import the basic goods needed public.
We still maintain this very carefully and prudently. We see worldwide pressure on countries will increase, like one of the countries, namely Sri Lanka, we will see what side maintain (the debt portion), explained Sri Mulyani.
SO, HOW IS SRI MULYANIS ploy so that RI doesnt fail to pay like Sri Lanka?
