PojokId . The World Bank report entitled Infrastructure Sector Assessment Program released in June 2018 stated that the Joko Widodo (Jokowi) Government was too reliant on state-owned companies to build infrastructure. This was reflected in the government's decision to provide direct assignments of a number of projects to SOEs. Whereas, in fact, the projects given to SOEs are projects that are not in demand in the eyes of private sector investors. However, in fact, commercial projects were given to SOEs. For example, commercial port development projects are given directly to Pelindo III and Pelindo IV. "The most feasible and making money is often assigned to SOEs," the report wrote.

In fact, other countries prioritize the gradual study and analysis process, before finally making decisions regarding the appropriate procurement and finan...

The statement was contained in a World Bank report entitled Infrastructure Sector Assessment Program released in June 2018 ago. In the report, the World Bank gave an example of the Trans-Sumatra toll road project undertaken by PT Hutama Karya (Persero) Tbk, when the assignment was given without any clarity regarding funding sources. Finally, Hutama Karya issued corporate bonds with government guarantees to fund the project. According to the report, HK worked on 24 segments of the Trans Sumatra toll road reaching a length of 2,700 kilometers (km).
