3. The Economy Weakens Due to the Coronavirus, These are the Recommendations Offered by the Unpad Accounting Study Center
The government’s social restriction and regional quarantine policies in the midst of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic emergency have reduced activities in various sectors, such as industry, services, finance, to public services. This also has a major impact on the country’s economy both macro and micro. This decline in growth was partly due to the economic slowdown which had an impact on the decline in state revenues. On a macro level, the impact of the pandemic can be seen from the depreciation of the rupiah, the decline in the stock price index in the capital market, to the emergence of liquidity problems that threaten economic stability. Responding to this problem, Unpad CAS itself delivered nine recommendations as an alternative solution for handling the economic impact by the government. This recommendation refers to various legal frameworks that have been made by the government.
1. Rearrangement of spending priority scale
2. Shopping reallocation
3. Utilization of Excess Budget Balance (SAL)
4. Determination of central and regional tax relaxation policies
5. Alignment of the implementation of the legal umbrella and intensive communication with various parties
6. Encouraging the involvement of auditing, supervisory and law enforcement agencies, namely the BPK, BPKP, Inspectorate, and KPK in guarding funds for handling Covid-19
