Jakarta (B2B) - Pemerintah diminta menghentikan pembayaran bunga obligasi rekapitalisasi (obligasi rekap) kepada perbankan karena membebani Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara (APBN).
"Menurut beberapa pejabat bank, mereka sudah menyiapkan strategi untuk melepas obligasi rekap secara bertahap," kata Ekonom dan mantan Menteri Koordinator Perekonomian Rizal Ramli dalam Rapat Dengar Pendapat Umum dengan Komisi XI DPR, Senin (28/1).
Rizal Ramli mengatakan pada awalnya obligasi rekap memakai skema non-interest barrier atau obligasi tanpa bunga. Selain itu, obligasi rekap tidak bisa diperdagangkan (non-tradable).
"Pada 2003, obligasi rekap diubah menjadi tradable dan interest bearing," kata Rizal.
Jakarta (B2B) - Government asked to halt bonds recap interest payment to banks to support the State Budget.
"Bank officials said that they have prepared a strategy to gradually release the recap in bonds," said Rizal Ramli, an economist and former Coordinating Minister of Economy in the Public Hearing with the House Commission XI on Monday (28/1).
Rizal Ramli stated the bonds recap in the first scheme will use non-interest barrier or bonds without interest. In addition, bonds recap cannot be traded (non-tradable).
"In 2003, bonds recap converted into tradable and interest bearing," Rizal said.
