JAKARTA - The DPR RI Budget Agency (Banggar) has proposed that the government target gross national income (GNI) of 5,520 US dollars per capita in the 2026 State Budget.
This proposal was submitted at a working committee meeting (panja) between the DPR Banggar and echelon I officials of the Ministry of Finance which took place at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Central Jakarta on Wednesday, August 27.
Member of the House of Representatives Banggar, Dolfie Onniel Frederic Palit, explained that the GNI per capita target is aimed at measuring the quality of national economic growth.
"We want quality economic growth, that's why we put in the government's target regarding GNI per capita, we include it as a measure of quality economic growth. (The result is) 5,520 US dollars per capita," he said after a meeting with the media crew, Wednesday, August 27.
For comparison, data from the World Bank noted that GNI Indonesia in 2024 was US$4,910 per capita. If converted using the 2021 purchasing power parity (PPP), with an exchange rate of US$1 equivalent to Rp6,071, then this figure reflects an average income of Rp29.8 million per person per year. Meanwhile, the GNI target of 5,520 US dollars is equivalent to an income of Rp33.5 million per capita per year.
Dolfie also emphasized that the panja meeting did not change the basic macro assumptions that had previously been agreed in the DPR Commission XI meeting with Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, BI Governor Perry Warjiyo, Head of Bappenas Rachmat Pambudy, and OJK DK Chairman Mahendra Siregar on Friday, August 22.
"There is no macro assumption (changing), all of them," he explained.
In line with that, the Director of State Budget Preparation of the Directorate General of Budget at the Ministry of Finance, Rofyanto Kurniawan, stated that the preparation of the 2026 State Budget still refers to the agreement that has been made at Commission XI.
According to him, if there is an adjustment or additional budget, it will still be based on this basic assumption.
"We should use what indicators have been discussed with Commission XI," he said.

1. Economic growth : 5.4 percent (yoy)
2. Inflation: 2.5 percent (yoy)
