JAKARTA: Indonesia expects to reach its tax revenue target this year for the first time in over a decade, as business activities recover from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati told a media briefing on Thursday.
The deficit was 3.29 per cent of GDP in January to October, Sri Mulyani said. The government is targeting a 5.7 per cent of GDP deficit for 2021. "Our budget condition is very good, so we may not do pre-funding, but we are not closing the door to this option," he said.
