REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Member of the VI DPR Commission from the PKS faction Ismail Bachtiar insists that budget efficiency should not be an obstacle for the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in achieving the dividend target. Ismail hopes that the spirit of the Ministry of state-owned enterprises will be maintained in encouraging the performance of red plate companies.
“We hope that budget efficiency does not lower the morale of the Ministry of state-owned enterprises in achieving the SOE dividend target. We are proud of the Minister of BUMN, Mr. Erick,” Ismail said during a working meeting with SOE Minister Erick Thohir at DPR Building, Jakarta, Thursday (13/2/2025).
Ismail also appreciated the achievement of the public satisfaction rate for Erick Thohir which reached 88.5 percent. According to him, the figure is not easily obtained, but rather the result of the real performance that the SOE Minister has performed.
“I would like to express my appreciation of the 88.5 percent level of public satisfaction with Mr. Erick's performance, certainly not an easy thing. This figure I got because you did perform well,” Ismail continued.
He also reminded that Erick Thohir introduced Akhlak's core values in 2020, which managed to improve the dividend performance of SOEs. Ismail hopes that there will be new innovations from Erick to maintain those positive trends.
“I used to remember Mr. Erick's growth in 2020 through Akhlak core values, a very powerful word and made dividend performance improve. People miss now, hopefully there will be a new buzz from Mr. Erick,” Ismail said.
In agreement with Ismail, Member of the VI DPR Commission from the PKB faction Nasim Khan also gave appreciation to Erick's leadership in the Ministry of state-owned enterprises. Nasim calls Erick a spectacular minister and hopes his leadership continues to be the pride of the nation.
“What I am proud of and hope to be our pride, here comes the spectacular Mr. Minister, Minister Erick Thohir, whom we hope will be the pride of going forward,” Nasim said.
Nasim appreciates Erick's success in establishing good corporate governance of SOEs through the principles of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) or good corporate governance.
“Mr. Erick has managed to create a history of good corporate governance (GCG) in reputable SOEs. God willing, may the holding and subholding also be able to implement core values, Akhlak,” Nasim said.
Responding to various inputs from Commission VI members, SOE Minister Erick Thohir ensured to achieve the SOE dividend target. Erick revealed that the dividend on SOE's performance in 2023 targeted at Rp 85 trillion has gone to the state treasury on November 7, 2024.
“If we look at the efficiency and GCG that we have done in the last five years, I would like to thank Commission VI for the support of Commission VI, especially for the dividend whose target of Rp 85 trillion has already entered the state treasury on November 7, 2024. This is the result of performance in 2023,” said Erick.
Erick also confirmed this year's dividend target of Rp 90 trillion is still on a safe path. Erick said the 2024 dividend target worth Rp 90 trillion had been allocated to the state at the beginning of this year. Despite efficiency policies, Erick made sure SOEs remained in good shape to continue contributing to the state.
“We remain optimistic despite budget efficiencies. Because if we look at the data that has progressed to this day, we are still doing well,” Erick said.
