JAKARTA The Association of Provincial Governments of All Indonesia (APPSI) visited the Ministry of Finance office in the Central Jakarta area, to meet directly with the Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadives, Tuesday, September 7.
Meanwhile, the North Sumatra Governor Bobby Nasution and Aceh Governor Muzakir Manaf were also present in the group, as well as a number of other regional heads.
Purbaya said that he did not know for sure what would be discussed in a meeting with the Association of Provincial Governments throughout Indonesia.
"I don't know yet (what discussions with local governments). They want to meet, so I have met them," said Purbaya to the media crew.
However, Purbaya emphasized that there are two main issues that will most likely be discussed, namely Transfer to Regions (TKD) and Revenue Sharing Funds (DBH).
In addition, he suspects that a number of regional heads will submit their objections regarding these two matters.

"Want to protest? Let it be, we'll see what regional finances are like, what kind of government finances are we managing according to financial conditions," he said.
For information, the allocation of TKD funds in the 2026 State Budget Draft is a concern because it has decreased drastically. Initially, the Government only budgeted Rp650 trillion, or decreased when compared to the 2025 ceiling which reached Rp919 trillion.
Responding to this situation, Purbaya, who had just been inaugurated, decided to increase the allocation of TKD funds by Rp43 trillion, bringing the total budget for 2026 to Rp693 trillion.
