Indonesia adds Rp33.2 trillion to 2026 regional transfer allocation
The revised ceiling is Rp726.2 trillion, with extra funding covering disaster response in Sumatra and non-disaster needs in several regions.
Indonesia’s budget for transfers to regional governments now stands at Rp726.2 trillion, up from an initial Rp693 trillion. Finance Minister Suahasil Nazara announced the revised ceiling during the APBN KiTA briefing on 13 November 2026.
The allocation has risen by Rp33.2 trillion. Suahasil identified Rp10.6 trillion in additional funding for disaster response in Sumatra and Rp18.9 trillion for non-disaster requirements in several regions.
Government disbursements under the regional transfer programme reached Rp653.6 trillion through October 2026, equivalent to about 90 per cent of the revised ceiling.
Suahasil described the transfers as a way to fund public services and regional development through local budgets. He said assessments of government support should also account for centrally funded programmes, including subsidies, Free Nutritious Meals, healthcare, Program Indonesia Pintar and Kartu Sembako.
He put the combined value of central and regional budget support benefiting the public at Rp2,180.54 trillion. For 2027, the government has allocated Rp1,445 trillion for direct interventions benefiting the public through the central budget, while regional transfers are planned at Rp735 trillion.
