pemerintahperusahaan

Pemerintahperusahaan is a nonstandard term often used to refer to government-owned enterprises, or perusahaan milik negara (BUMN), which are corporate entities in which the government holds a controlling stake. These companies may be wholly owned or majority-owned and operate in strategic sectors such as energy, telecommunications, finance, transport, and infrastructure. They are expected to combine commercial performance with public-interest objectives.

Ownership and governance in government-owned enterprises typically involve state oversight through a ministry or designated government agency. In Indonesia, this oversight is commonly exercised by the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises, which appoints boards, sets strategic direction, and monitors performance. Despite commercial aims, BUMN are often tasked with providing reliable services, ensuring price stability, supporting national development, and promoting regional employment and growth. As such, they are generally required to follow corporate governance standards, financial reporting requirements, and sometimes public service obligations.

The dual mandate of profitability and public responsibility can create tensions between political oversight and managerial autonomy. Reforms have aimed to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability, including governance enhancements, performance-based management, and, in some cases, strategic partnerships or privatization while preserving state control in key assets. The balance between ensuring universal service and maintaining market competitiveness remains a central consideration for policy makers.

Prominent examples of government-owned enterprises in various economies include Pertamina, PLN (Persero), Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, and Bukit Asam. These entities illustrate how government ownership can influence industry structure, investment, and service provision within a national economy.
