Domestic Update
• President Joko Widodo decided to extend Public Activity Restriction (PPKM Level 4) for a week from July 26 - August 2, 2021. MNCS Comment: Since PPKM Level 4 was implemented on July 21, the government eased some crucial activities compared to previous social restriction measures known as PPKM Darurat. Covid-19 daily cases fluctuated in line with inconsistent testing, tracing and vaccine inoculation undertaken. Last week MoF announced the PEN budget to be increased from IDR699.43tn to IDR744.95tn. However PEN budget realization stayed slow with 36% from target. In addition, slow regional budget realization which stood at 18.5% from the target of IDR25.46tn could hinder potential economic recovery.
• Furthermore, there was an addition of 5,393 new Covid-19 cases in Jakarta yesterday.
