Erick Thohir Optimistic That The IDR 90 Trillion SOE Dividend Target Was Achieved

JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir is optimistic that the dividend deposit target or profit sharing of state-owned companies to the state in 2025 of IDR 90 trillion can be achieved.

"For the target this year, IDR 90 trillion. I think because the performance in 2024 for dividends in 2025 is safe," he said in a working meeting with Commission VI of the DPR, Jakarta, Tuesday, February 13.

Erick said state-owned companies had allocated dividends for the state of IDR 20.5 trillion as of January 2025. This means that the remaining IDR 69.5 trillion is from the total dividend target in 2025.

"Earlier I checked, thank God it has been indicated even though the confirm figure is IDR 20.5 trillion which will be allocated to the country this January," said Erick.

Regarding the dividend target in 2026, Erick admitted that he could not convey it. Because, two said dividend deposits in 2026 will be influenced by the company's performance this year.

"For dividend 2026, I'm sorry I can't answer right now. Because we see the macro conditions too," he said.

In addition, Erick also sees the potential for cooperation with several countries to help the performance of SOEs in the midst of challenges faced this year. Such as Turkey, the United States, the Philippines, India, and Japan.

"Well, this is what we are trying to see the potential. Yesterday's plus we also had a surplus with Turkey, if I'm not mistaken, IDR 1.5 billion," he said.

"So maybe we'll try to see the potential for south-south trading as well as implications with SOEs, of course the context is not comprehensive, but that potential that we see for this year's performance," he continued.
