JAKARTA - Infrastructure projects, food security and housing have cost the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) IDR 276.1 trillion.

In detail, the budget of IDR 170.1 trillion is absorbed for infrastructure, IDR 81.2 trillion for food security and IDR 24.8 trillion for housing.

This was revealed by Deputy Minister of Finance (Wamenkeu) Suahasil Nazara in the October 2025 edition of our APBN press conference, Tuesday, October 14.

"Infrastructure development in the far right is IDR 170, 1 trillion. (The absorption) is 42.3 percent of the ceiling (IDR 402.4 trillion)," said Suahasil.

First, school revitalization (PAUD/SD/SMP/SMA and Sederajat) amounting to Rp12.2 trillion or equivalent to 11,600 schools.

Next, road construction and preservation are worth Rp. 14.7 trillion, (construction progress is 47.8 percent of the 177 kilometer target).

In addition, rural electricity infrastructure worth IDR 3.6 trillion in 36 provinces.

Meanwhile, for the food security budget, the absorption has only reached Rp. 81.2 trillion or 56.1 percent of the total ceiling of Rp. 144.6 trillion.

This figure is intended to print rice fields and intensify land of IDR 3.4 trillion. In a sense, 31.3 percent of the ceiling of IDR 10.9 trillion.

"To print rice fields and intensify the land (budget absorption) is still relatively low, 31.3 percent of the ceiling of Rp. 10.9 trillion, so we also need to accelerate this," he said.

Then, Rp9.9 trillion in funds for dams, irrigation and infrastructure (sarpras) for Water Resources (SDA) has absorbed 43.1 percent of the Rp23 trillion ceiling.

Meanwhile, the Rp800 billion budget is intended for the Red and White Fishermen's Village or 55.9 percent of the Rp1.4 trillion ceiling.

Suahasil also urged the Ministry of Public Works (PU) with a large budget to immediately absorb the budget. The reason is, the absorption of the ministry's budget led by Dody Hanggodo is still around 48.2 percent.

"For the fourth quarter, we ask that steps be taken to optimize the implementation of spending," said Suahasil.

These steps include accelerating the implementation of spending on activities or goods and services procurement projects (PBJ), monitoring plans for the use of funds and encouraging payment of terms of activity according to schedule and inventory constraints and mitigation.

"We need spending in the fourth quarter-IV, but we also continue to encourage spending efficiency in every ministry and institution," he explained.

The realization of housing spending has reached Rp24.8 trillion for Home Ownership Loans (KPR) for Housing Financing Liquidity Facilities (FLPP) for 192,700 houses.

"So if I'm not mistaken, this is already above 50 percent, it should be slightly above 50 percent (of the Rp52.1 trillion ceiling)," he said.
