Purbaya conveyed that the direction of economic and fiscal policies in 2026 is focused on strengthening sovereignty in the food, energy and economic sectors in general, in order to realize a strong, independent and prosperous Indonesia.

"In line with this, the 2026 RAPBN is focused on supporting 8 priority agendas that include food security; energy security; MBG; quality education; quality health; village development, cooperatives and MSMEs; strengthening the universal defense; as well as accelerating investment and global trade," he explained, Thursday, September 11.

He conveyed that the APBN must be able to respond to economic dynamics and answer various development challenges, so that the management of the APBN must continue to be directed to stay healthy and sustainable.

To achieve this, he conveyed that the Government has set three main strategies, namely that first it will improve the quality of state spending, by ensuring that the budget is really focused on eight priority agendas, carried out productively, efficiently, and has a real impact on society and the economy.

Next, optimize state revenues, while maintaining a conducive investment climate, and tax reforms will continue to be strengthened so that the tax system is more in line with the national economic structure and global tax trends, while increasing compliance and efficiency in collection.

"So, encouraging the optimization of natural resource processing, state assets, and service innovation," he said.

Furthermore, encouraging innovative and sustainable financing, including keeping debt management within safe limits, utilizing Danantara's role in accelerating productive investment, and using the Remainder Budget (SAL) strategically to anticipate economic uncertainty.

Selain ketiga strategi tersebut, ia menyampaikan Kementerian Keuangan juga berkomitmen memperkuat koordinasi lintas sektor antara kebijakan fiskal, moneter, dan sektor keuangan untuk menjaga stabilitas ekonomi dan mendorong penciptaan lapangan kerja.

"Melalui pengelolaan APBN yang sehat tersebut, maka tiga fungsi utama APBN yaitu alokasi, stabilisasi, dan distribusi dapat berfungsi efektif untuk mendukung berbagai program pemerintah, meredam dari berbagai goncangan, dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan demi mencapai cita-cita bangsa. Indonesia yang tangguh, mandiri, dan sejahtera," imbuhnya.

In addition to these three strategies, he conveyed that the Ministry of Finance is also committed to strengthening cross-sectoral coordination between fiscal, monetary and financial policies to maintain economic stability and encourage job creation.

Indonesia is strong, independent, and prosperous," he added.
