"We seek to remain careful in maintaining fiscals, as during these times of uncertainties, we need a state budget that can ensure the economy is sound; stable and with a balanced allocation and distribution," the minister said.


Sri Mulyani added that one of the factors that kept deficit low was the solid increase in state revenues. As per August 31, there was an 18.4 percent revenue increase, coupled with a 16.5 percent tax growth.
