Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia's potential financial contribution to the US-backed Board of Peace (BoP) would be sourced from the Ministry of Defense's budget, Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa said in Jakarta on Tuesday.”Yes, it will definitely go through the Ministry of Defense,” Purbaya told reporters.He said the government has yet to decide the exact amount of the contribution or whether funding from other State Budget allocations may be used.Purbaya added that budget reallocation remains an option if the required funding exceeds the fiscal capacity of the Ministry of Defense.”We will see later. If it is not sufficient, we will reorient the budget. What matters is that we will maintain prudent fiscal management,” he said.For 2026, the Ministry of Defense has been allocated a budget of Rp187.1 trillion, or around US$11.2 billion, including funds for strengthening the military's weapons system.President Prabowo Subianto signed the Board of Peace charter on the sidelines of the 2026 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on January 22.Earlier on Tuesday, Foreign Affairs Minister Sugiono said there is no obligation for BoP member states to pay a contribution of around US$1 billion.Countries invited to join the Board of Peace may become members for a three-year term without providing financial contributions, he said.”If a country participates by contributing funds, that means it becomes a permanent member,” Sugiono said, without elaborating on whether Indonesia would provide a contribution.
