These measures will be supported by stronger supervision and law enforcement, as well as the optimization of debt collection to maximize revenue potential.On the expenditure side, Sadewa said the government remains committed to improving the quality of state spending through efficiency measures and budget refocusing, ensuring that allocations generate greater benefits for the economy and society.The government will also seek to improve the effectiveness of both central and regional government spending through stronger synergy and harmonization between national and local budget policies.
