Jakarta, June 14, 2021 - Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic challenges, Pertamina continues its contribution to the country in the 2020 financial year that amounts to IDR 126.7 trillion. This amount includes tax payments of IDR 92.7 trillion, dividends of IDR 8.5 trillion, and Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) of IDR 25.5 trillion.

Acting Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications & Investor Relations of Pertamina, Fajriyah Usman, said that 2020 had passed with the blow of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, Pertamina was still able to record positive performance. Therefore, Pertamina could continue its contribution to the country through taxes, dividends, and PNBP in large amounts.

"This amount is Pertamina's contribution to the payment of taxes in 2020 and dividends from the Pertamina Group resulting from the profit for the 2019 financial year which has been paid in 2020," said Fajriyah.

According to Fajriyah, with the challenges of 2020, Pertamina's contribution to the country remains high, although not as high as under normal circumstances in 2019.

Throughout 2020, added Fajriyah, Pertamina has also paid IDR 8.5 trillion in dividends or 23.8% of the total net profit. This amount has increased compared to the dividends paid throughout 2019 of IDR 8 trillion, or 22.1% of the company's net profit.

"Pertamina will continue to make a real contribution to the state's finances and will continue to play an active role in encouraging national economic growth. Pertamina's contribution will continue to increase in line with the economic recovery and the national vaccination program, which is expected to control the Covid-19 pandemic," concluded Fajriyah.**
