New K/L Shopping 62.8 Percent As Of September 2025, Government Will Evaluate At The End Of October

JAKARTA - The Ministry of Finance reported that until September 2025, the Ministry / Institute (K / L) budget that had not been absorbed reached Rp474.7 trillion, and the realization of new K / L expenditures was recorded at Rp800.9 trillion or 62.8 percent of the total target of Rp1,275.6 trillion.

Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadives appealed to K/L to immediately prepare concrete programs to take advantage of the remaining budget.

He also added that the budget evaluation will be carried out at the end of October and if until the end of this month the K/L does not show progress in budget absorption, the funds will be transferred to another post.

"The budget disbursement, it's already the 14th, so it's only 16 days left for the ministry to prepare for absorption until the end of the year. If not, later at the end of October I will comb it, relocation will be moved to another place if they can't shop," he said at the press conference of our State Budget, Tuesday, October 14.

Meanwhile, the Director General of Economic Strategy and Fiscal Febrio Kacaribu also encouraged the remaining budget to be used immediately and the spending must be focused on programs that directly touch the needs of the community.

"But also as mentioned by Mr. Deputy Minister Suahasil, it's not only a matter of him accelerating his spending, but we want good governance and also has a direct impact on the community. So it doesn't happen later, the spending will be too fast, so it's not good. We want to maintain good governance and have an impact on the community," he said.

He also revealed that his party would monitor 10 K/L which were considered still lagging behind in terms of budget realization.

"Our first priority is to encourage K/L to shop as much as possible. Earlier there was a top 10 at least we've seen, shopping from each K/L, which ones were still a bit lagging, which ones were quite promising with certainty that they would finish until the end of the year," he explained.

According to him, the acceleration of K/L spending is considered important because it contributes significantly to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), so that the acceleration of spending is expected to encourage national economic growth.

"For us to push for only 2.5 months left. We hope that the majority should be able to. But the Minister also has a boost so that it really accelerates. Why? Because state spending can reach 14-15 percent of GDP, so what we have planned we hope can be enjoyed directly by the community, encouraging economic growth," he said.
