The government stated that the 2026 State Budget (APBN) remains in a healthy and controlled condition and is in line with the established fiscal policy direction.
As of the end of March 2026, state revenue reached approximately Rp574.9 trillion, representing growth of about 10 percent compared to the same period the previous year.
This increase was primarily driven by tax revenue, which grew by more than 20 percent in line with the improvement in national economic activity, increased taxpayer compliance, and the strengthening of the digital-based tax administration system.
In addition to tax revenue, the customs, excise, and non-tax state revenue (PNBP) sectors also showed positive developments and contributed to supporting the performance of state revenue.
On the expenditure side, the government accelerated the implementation of various priority programs to support economic growth and improve public welfare.
State expenditure reached approximately Rp815 trillion, an increase of more than 30 percent compared to the same period last year.
These expenditures were used to support various national strategic programs, including free nutritious meals, social assistance, pension payments, energy subsidies, as well as infrastructure development and public services in various regions.
The government has also increased transfers to the regions, disbursing more than Rp200 trillion to support regional development, public services, special autonomy funds, and assistance for disaster-affected areas.
Although actual spending has risen significantly, the government emphasizes that the state budget deficit remains within safe limits and in line with the 2026 fiscal plan.
The financing strategy is being implemented cautiously, efficiently, and flexibly to maintain national economic stability while preserving investor and market participant confidence.
The government is optimistic that the annual budget deficit can be kept below the 3 percent threshold relative to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), in line with the established target.
Overall, the 2026 State Budget continues to serve as the primary instrument in maintaining economic stability, strengthening social protection, promoting sustainable growth, and supporting various national development agendas.
