Highlighting the achievements in the infrastructure sector, she noted the construction of approximately 1,938 kilometers of toll roads and an additional 4,574 kilometers of national non-toll roads over the past decade. Moreover, the APBN has facilitated the construction of 37 dams and a substantial increase in electricity generation capacity by 36.3 gigawatts.
The impact of these developments extends beyond transportation and energy. Minister Sri Mulyani pointed out that improvements in healthcare, supported by APBN allocations, have contributed significantly to reducing stunting prevalence from 37.2% in 2013 to 21.5% by 2023.
“These accomplishments reflect a collective effort and dedication to progress throughout the ten-year tenure,” Minister Sri Mulyani concluded.
