Minister of Finance Purbaya Synchronizes Three Growth Engines for Sustainable Economy

JAKARTA - Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has aligned three growth engines to pursue a sustainable economy.

The three growth engines include the fiscal, financial sector, and investment. The three are expected to move in sync and strengthen each other in driving national economic growth.

"I think later if the three systems, the fiscal, monetary, and investment systems are working well, we can grow faster," said Purbaya in a written statement in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, January 14.

In the fiscal sector, the government is committed to optimizing state expenditures so that they are implemented on time, on target, and free from leaks.

Meanwhile, in the financial sector, the government continues to strengthen coordination with the Central Bank so that monetary policy is in line with fiscal policy.

As for investment, the government has formed a task force for the Government Strategic Program to overcome debottlenecking investment through a mechanism for routinely resolving investment barriers.

Every week, the government holds a hearing to resolve various problems faced by business actors in Indonesia, so that the investment climate can be more conducive.

All of these instruments will be optimized to achieve the vision of Indonesia Emas 2045.

In this case, the State Budget (APBN) 2026 is directed to be expansive but still measurable, with a focus on eight priority agendas.

State spending is aimed at providing direct impact to the community, strengthening long-term foundations, and increasing national productivity.

For your information, the state's revenue in the 2026 state budget is set at IDR 3,153.58 trillion, consisting of tax revenue of IDR 2,693.71 trillion, non-tax state revenue (PNBP) of IDR 459.2 trillion, and grants of IDR 666.27 billion.

Meanwhile, state spending is designed with a target of IDR 3,842.73 trillion, which includes central government spending of IDR 3,149.73 trillion and transfers to regions (TKD) of IDR 692.99 trillion.

Thus, the projected state budget deficit in 2026 is set at IDR 689.15 trillion or 2.68 percent of gross domestic product (GDP).
