He disclosed, the total budget in his dept. this year amounted to Rp 2.6 trillion. Budget absorption itself is targeted at 85 percent, as the other 15 percent is the efficiency of the activities that have been budgeted.
"Until the end of the year, hopefully it can be realized to 85 percent. The rest of the auction is unused, the efficiency of the budget and it is generally accepted," he uttered.
He continued the obstacles faced in budget absorption are the length of the auction process. So there are some projects that had to be delayed.
"The main problem is the length of the auction process. Then others run as usual," he closed.
