Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati has hinted that the 13th and 14th salaries, or a type of holiday allowances, for Indonesian civil servants are likely to be disbursed as planned. 

Speaking to reporters on Thursday (6/2/2025),she said that the budget for these payments has been prepared, though she did not provide specific figures.

“Just wait for further announcements. The process is ongoing. God willing, it will be disbursed,” Minister Sri Mulyani said, as quoted by antaranews.com.

The development comes amid speculation over potential cuts to civil servant benefits following President Prabowo’s directive to streamline the 2025 state budget by Rp306.69 trillion.
