Minister Of Finance Purbaya Opens Voice About The Potential Increase In ASN 2026 Salaries

JAKARTA - Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadiveh spoke about the possible increase in the salary of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in 2026.

He stated that the potential for an increase in ASN salaries is always there every year. However, it is not certain how much the opportunity for an increase can be realized.

"The possibility (increased ASN salaries) is always there, but what opportunity do we not know," he told the media crew, Tuesday, October 22.

However, he also said that until now he had not received detailed information regarding the discourse.

Previously, the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) stated that until now there has been no special allocation in the 2026 State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) aimed at increasing the salaries of state civil servants (ASN).

"When we talk about 2026 in the financial note, there is no visible salary increase in 2026," said Budget Director for Economic Affairs and Maritime Affairs Tri Budhianto in the Media Gathering of the 2026 State Budget, Friday, October 10.

Tri added that the Ministry of Finance has not yet received official directions regarding the additional payroll policy for ASN in the coming year.

According to him, if the government has set a salary increase as a national priority, the allocation of funds will be directly reflected in the 2026 State Budget document.

"The Minister of Finance has already conveyed that at this time we have not received the policy, whether it will be increased in 2026. So we are waiting for government policies regarding salary increases," he said.

However, Tri did not rule out the possibility of a policy change in the future and the final decision remained in the hands of President Prabowo and would rely heavily on the government's priorities at that time.

"If the government considers a salary increase to be a priority, I am sure it will be a calculation next year," he said.
