Speeding To Discuss The Preparation Of The 2026 DKI Regional Budget, DPRD: Evidence Of Legislative Harmonious Collaboration-Executive

JAKARTA - The DPRD and the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government seem to be speeding up the discussion of the current budget draft. Among them are discussions on changes to the 2025 budget year which have been completed, followed by the preparation of the 2026 APBD.

In July, the DPRD and the DKI Provincial Government agreed on the APBD to change 2025 to IDR 91.86 trillion.

Today, the draft General Policy and the Priority Draft and Temporary Budget Ceiling (KUA-PPAS) of the 2026 APBD was agreed to be proposed at IDR 95.35 trillion.

Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Khoirudin, claims that the brief discussion of the budget between the DPRD and the DKI Provincial Government is a sign of harmonious relationship and communication.

"I have proven the synchronization of the harmonious collaboration between the legislature and the executive. This is proof that we DPRD collaborated with the Governor to serve Jakarta residents," said Khoirudin at the DKI Jakarta DPRD building, Wednesday, August 13.

Usually, the completion of the revised APBD for the year is continued with the preparation of the APBD the following year being carried out in September-October. This year, the discussion was carried out 2 months earlier.

"If in previous years the discussion of the budget for changes in September-October so that the execution time is only a month or 2 months maximum, now I finish it in July. So there are 6 months of executives to execute," said Khoirudin.

Meanwhile, Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Rano Karno emphasized that the agreed provisional budget draft would be the basis for the preparation of a draft regional regulation (Raperda) regarding the 2026 APBD.

Rano hopes that the signing of this memorandum of understanding will be a good first step in planning and implementing the 2026 APBD.

KUA-PPAS is an important document that forms the basis for the preparation of the APBD. Based on this agreement, the regions outline the priorities, allocations, and sources of funds that will be used for development in various sectors, such as flood prevention, reducing congestion, increasing education, and health services," Rano explained.
