REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The government has prepared three anticipatory measures to be implemented in case budget deficit surpasses the target set at 2.4 percent of the GDP in the 2014 revised budget, Finance Minister Chatib Basri said.

"Control measures will be implemented so that in the remaining six months no disrupting fiscal issue will emerge and market will remain calm during the transition period to the new government," he reported here on Thursday.

The current government will end its term later in October this year, and the country will be led by a new government following a presidential election on July 9.

The minister said the anticipatory measures were included in Article 20A of the law on budget that authorizes the government to take every effort to control the budget deficit.
