The Ministry of Finance noted that until early October 2025, the realization of Ministry/Institutional expenditure (K/L) for President Prabowo Subianto's government priority program had reached Rp815 trillion.
The Director General of Treasury of the Ministry of Finance Astera Primanto Bhakti explained that this figure reflects about 55 percent of the total 2025 K/L budget ceiling set at IDR 1,481.7 trillion.
"If we look at the figure, we can spend around Rp. 815 trillion from our budget of Rp. 1,481.7 trillion for K/L spending," he said in a media briefing to the media crew, Friday, October 3, 2025.
Prima detailed that most of the K/L expenditures were allocated for personnel expenditures whose portion reached 77 percent, so that the realization of employee spending had exceeded the figure of Rp1,140.9 trillion.
Meanwhile, for social expenditure or social assistance (bansos), the realization reached 72 percent of the available ceiling of Rp1,066.82 trillion. Meanwhile, goods expenditures and capital expenditures were realized by 45 percent or equivalent to Rp666.76 trillion.
Although the spending achievement is quite significant, Prima admits that there are still challenges in optimizing the remaining budget until the end of the year.
He said that in the government spending cycle, about 38 percent of the K/L budget is usually realized in the fourth quarter, namely in the last three months of the fiscal year.

"If we look at the budget cycle, it's about 38 percent of the budget. It's usually explored in the last 3 months. Starting from October, November, December. This is usually around 38 percent," he explained.
However, he said that the implementation of this year's spending could not be separated from obstacles, one of which was the process of forming a new ministry/institution which was still in the planning stage of organizational structure and budgeting, as well as global conditions and geopolitical situations that also affected the rate of realization of the state budget.
As an anticipatory measure, Prima said that the government had prepared a mitigation strategy, including an increase in coordination between the Ministry of Finance and Ministries/K/L at all levels, both central and regional levels.
"At the technical level, the Directorate General of Treasury has 34 regional offices and 182 state treasury service offices (KPPN) throughout Indonesia. This KPPN (State Treasury Service Office) is the one that verifies and distributes the budget," he said.
Prima expressed optimism that the target for the 2025 K/L budget absorption could be achieved as expected.
