“We see the potential for savings, a very extraordinary number. The desire of the President (Prabowo) to
budget deficit
That’s lower than what is now, as he was a speech (in the financial memorandum).That may not be zero, but gradually until 2026 we think we will be able to do (suppress deficits) well, “he said in a press conference at the Den office, Central Jakarta, Tuesday (8/26).

Budget deficit
Maybe about if I am not mistaken, the number is Rp. 600 trillion (Rp. 638.8 trillion).With the savings that were tried at first glance by the team, it was almost Rp. 350 trillion to Rp. 400 trillion, “Luhut claims about efforts to reduce the APBN deficit.
In fact, the former Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Menko Marves) claimed the savings of Rp400 trillion had not yet considered other sectors.Luhut asserted that he would immediately report the results to President Prabowo.
He said he was assisted by two representatives in carrying out the government digital transformation acceleration committee.Both are Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (Menpan RB) Rini Widyantini and Minister of Communication and Digital (Menkomdigi) Meutya Hafid.

“Honestly, actually we only began to understand this AI (August 2025) … yesterday we were also briefed how in America also now aggressively digitalized, they are based on AI. I am very happy because this (digitalization) is carried out by Indonesian children,” he said.
“So, we don’t need to be discouraged that this must be strangers, no! These are people who used to do care to protect and they also do now. I am proud to see them working well. This is a big job, requires very integrated coordination to realize many presidential programs,” continued Luhut.
The Chairman of the DEN emphasized that the Bansos digitalization pilot project will begin in Banyuwangi, East Java.Nevertheless, he said that the presence of Govtech was not merely to make the distribution of social assistance more on target.
