Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Ministry of Finance has raised Rp 85.9 trillion in pre-funding by issuing government bonds ahead of the 2025 fiscal year to meet financing needs.

Director General of Debt Management Suminto explained on Monday (6/1/20250 that this strategy ensures debt financing is done at reasonable costs and with well-managed risks.

The pre-funding reduces bond issuance in 2025. In addition, the government and Bank Indonesia have agreed to swap Rp 100 trillion in COVID-19 bonds due in 2025, further minimizing new issuances.

For 2025, the government projects a budget deficit of Rp 616.2 trillion (2.53% of GDP) and plans to finance it with Rp 775.9 trillion, including Rp642.5 trillion from bond issuance and Rp133.3 trillion from loans.

The government also has Rp 45.4 trillion in surplus from the 2024 budget to support 2025 financing needs.
