Intending to meet part of the financing target in the 2022 State Budget, the Government plans to hold an auction of State Sharia Securities (SBSN) or State Sukuk which will be held on Tuesday (19/4/2022) tomorrow.

Based on data from the Directorate General of Financing and Risk Management (DJPPR) of the Ministry of Finance, Monday (4/18/2022) the series to be auctioned are 1 series of State Treasury Letters – Sharia (SPN-S) and 5 series of Project-Based Sukuk (PBS).

The series are SPN-S 04102022 (reopening), PBS031 (reopening), PBS032 (reopening), PBS030 (reopening), PBS029 (reopening), and PBS033 (reopening).

The indicative target of the Sukuk auction on March 22, 2022, is set at IDR 9 trillion. Meanwhile, the government allocated non-competitive purchases of 50 percent of the amount won for the SPN-S series and 30 percent of the amount won for the PBS series.
