The realization of the budget of the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) has only reached 75.01 percent or equivalent to Rp4.79 trillion of the total Fiscal Year (TA) 2025.

Minister of ATR/BPN Nusron Wahid also revealed the reason. In a Working Meeting (Raker) with Commission II of the DPR RI, Nusron said this was due to the opening of the blocked budget relaxation.

"First, there was the opening of the relaxation of efficiency which was originally blocked, suddenly opened. So, like it or not, we have to shop again in the remaining one quarter," said Nusron at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, November 24.

In the 2025 Fiscal Year (TA), the Ministry of ATR/BPN received a budget allocation of Rp6.97 trillion, which then received an efficiency of Rp578 billion. Thus, the total non-blocking ceiling of the Ministry of ATR/BPN amounted to Rp6.39 trillion.

In addition, Nusron said, there were a few problems in contractual activities sourced from the Integrated Land Administration and Spatial Planning (ILASP) program which came from foreign loans or the World Bank.

"Because every shopping and auction there must get approval from the World Bank. We have one auction activity, namely the making of RDTR (Detailed Spatial Plan) which was protested by one of the participants, then participants complained to the World Bank and the World Bank to review it so that it got a bit stuck here," he said.

The Ministry of ATR/BPN targets the realization of the budget of 98 percent by the end of 2025.

"We project that until around December 31, 2025, based on the foreplay we have done, we have seen each posture and potential expenditure in each work unit is up to a maximum of 98 percent," he said.

As for the end of the third quarter of 2025, the realization of the budget of the Ministry of ATR/BPN reached Rp4.79 trillion or 75.01 percent of the total budget.

Nusron explained that the budget absorption consisted of management support which received an allocation of Rp4.93 trillion and had absorbed 81.78 percent or Rp4.03 trillion.

Then, there is a land management and service program, from an allocation of IDR 1.74 trillion, to an effective ceiling of IDR 1.35 trillion and realized IDR 721.4 billion or around 53.35 percent.

Berikutnya, serapan paling rendah adalah program penyelenggaraan penataan ruang, dari total pagu Rp151,4 miliar menjadi pagu efektif Rp107,23 miliar dan terealisasi 36,36 persen atau sekitar Rp38,98 miliar.

"Kami akan maksimalkan meskipun dalam kondisi target proyeksinya hanya 98 persen tidak mungkin 100 persen, tapi kami berkomitmen target output dan outcome yang telah kami sepakati tetap akan sampai di angka 100 persen," imbuhnya.

Next, the lowest absorption is the space arrangement program, from a total ceiling of Rp. 151.4 billion to an effective ceiling of Rp. 107.23 billion and realized 36.36 percent or around Rp. 38.98 billion.

"We will maximize it even though the projected target is only 98 percent, it is impossible to be 100 percent, but we are committed to the output and outcome targets that we have agreed on will still reach 100 percent," he added.
