First of all if $9.3 bil for pinjaman luar negri can be consider high compare to before covid standard. The average was prolly around $4 bil something (before covid). Now what if that $9.3 bil was part of a bigger budget scheme which can be achieved if certain economic parameter is met so ibu SM can give a nod?
What I hear is there is this 4 year total budget scheme (that 9.3 is only around 1/4-nya) that has been proposed but under yearly review or disesuaikan dgn keuangan negara. There is this lobby and study about this thing which hasnt been settled. At first I dont believe we can afford $9.3 bil, but seems like it has been informally ok by most. If that 4 year total budget goes thru and materialized in the next 4 years then our Nation definetly transform her muscle into regional power that any other countries must reckon with. This will definetly change the region balance of power, it will be interesting to see how our neighbor react to it.
Now there is still a lobby, talk, discussion going on regarding the assets type tho MoD aim is somehow still fix on certain type. This happen due to the next years budget uncertainty (depend on certain economic parameter by kemenkeu?). They need to formulate the assets purchase and mitigate the risk if somehow the total budget collapse.
Thats what I been hearing, and the rest is my personal analyze. Perhaps @Madokafc can give us a bit of enlightment.
You're saying we have allocated $37 bil in total? That's almost twice the $20 bil number that's been circling around. A welcoming surprise.
