The National Mandate Party (PAN) supports the government taking the decision to provide stimulus to the people affected by the corona.
Although it still pressures the government to be faster and more responsive in suppressing the spread of corona, as well as increasing and making room for better handling of the orchestra.
PAN Spokesman Widdi Aswindi said, Provide some basic notes, especially in regards to the vigilance of using a budget deficit policy of up to 5%. Especially because this deficit will result in new debt of around 830T per year which in the government’s plan will be carried out for three fiscal years (2020-2021-2022), statement on Wednesday (1/4/2020).
PAN notes primarily that it prioritizes the efficiency of use, so that the deficit must be maintained as much as possible not reaching 5% and pay attention to serious efforts to make the government budget a stimulus for economic growth.
he said, In the case of corona handling, PAN assesses and feels the need, so that before using the assumption of using the budget deficit, the government carries out optimization and relocation on budget posts.
Such as the 2020 local budget post, village fund post, new capital fund post and non-urgent infrastructure fund post.
These funds can be directly used in handling public assistance affected by the existing social restrictions.
he explained, The nature of the allocation should not be complicated and easily understood by the people. The implementing institution must be proactive and fast in responding, and there is a hotline that is easily accessible and responsive in addressing the problem.
All efforts undertaken by the government at this time must also be accompanied by a spirit of transparency, so that all parties can help both directly and indirectly, because PAN believes the impact of the economic aftership on the Indonesian economy will take place not soon, therefore all support is needed by the government.
