"Do not allow the assets to sit idle. They have to work," Sri Mulyani stated at the 2023 BLU Coordination Meeting that was monitored online in Jakarta, Thursday.
Thus, productive and commercial asset management should still be conducted through the application of good governance guidelines.
To this end, BLU managers and supervisory boards should continue to think creatively, be innovative, and work hard to improve or add to the services of an asset rather than burdening the community.
Moreover, currently, increasingly more number of BLUs have assets in strategic locations, such as in the middle of a crowd or city.
According to the minister, this can be used, so that BLUs do not only depend on the injections of the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN).
"Hence, the income received can be used to improve services. If the BLU takes the form of a hospital, it can be used to invest in medical devices, services, or even honorariums for all workers," she remarked.
The Ministry of Finance noted that through asset management, BLUs in 2022 had contributed Rp89.5 trillion to non-tax state revenue (PNBP). This figure exceeded the target of Rp78.8 trillion, or reached 113.57 percent.
