This change is considering that the assistance has been provided for a long time. Therefore there have been changes in the prices of a number of basic necessities.
Even so, the increase in BPNT revenues is not in line with the number of recipients. The recipients who received BPNT in 2020 were 15.6 million KPM. “In 2020 the existing budget is still 15.6 million KPM,” said Andi.
