Pemprov Papua Optimis Serapan Anggaran Capai 90 Persen di Akhir 2022

JAYAPURA - Asisten Bidang Perekonomian dan Kesejahteraan Rakyat Sekda Papua Muhammad Musa’ad meyakini serapan anggaran Organisasi Perangkat Daerah (OPD) setempat, dapat mencapai 90 persen hingga akhir 2022 ini.

Hal demikian karena sudah menjadi kebiasaan di Papua, untuk setiap penagihan okeh pihak ketiga, lebih sering dilakukan pada November atau Desember.

“Sehingga data serap baru terlihat ada peningkatan di November dan Desember”.

“Pastinya karena banyak tagihan-tagihan pengusaha atau kontraktor itu masuk di November dan Desember berdasarkan pengalaman kita,” terang Musa’ad di Jayapura, Jumat.

Kendati begitu, lanjut ia, Pemerintah Provinsi Papua tetap berupaya untuk meningkatkan serapan anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah (APBD) jelang akhir tahun 2022, lewat berbagai terobosan.

Diantaranya dengan mengendalikan inflasi di daerah setempat.

“Pemerintah Provinsi Papua sudah berkomitmen agar serapan anggaran harus tinggi supaya juga bisa mengendalikan inflasi”.

“Artinya apa, uang harus banyak beredar sehingga tidak ada lagi spekulasi-spekulasi yang berkembang di masyarakat. Hanya memang kita kemarin di Papua ini ada penyesuaian kebijakan pemerintah sehingga agak sedikit tersendar untuk penyerapan realisasi anggaran itu," tandasnya. ***

JAYAPURA - Assistant for Economic Affairs and People Welfare of the Regional Secretary of Papua Muhammad Musa'ad believes that the budget absorption of the local Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD) can reach 90 percent by the end of 2022.

This is because it has become customary in Papua, for every third-party billing, it is more often done in November or December.

"So the new absorbent data shows an increase in November and December".

"Of course, because many of the bills of entrepreneurs or contractors come in November and December based on our experience," explained Musa'ad in Jayapura, Friday.

However, he continued, the Papua Provincial Government is still trying to increase the absorption of the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) ahead of the end of 2022, through various breakthroughs.

Among them is by controlling inflation in the local area.

"The Papua Provincial Government has committed that budget absorption must be high in order to also control inflation".

"It means, money must circulate a lot so that there are no more speculations that develop in society. For Papua, there was an adjustment in government policy so that it was a little bit stagnant for the absorption of the budget realization," he said. ***
