JAKARTA - Minister of State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB), Rini Widyantini, visited the office of the Minister of Finance, Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, Monday, December 29.
The visit was carried out to discuss a number of important agendas, one of which is related to the proposal for a salary increase for state civil servants (ASN/PNS) in 2026.
Monitoring at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) Office, Central Jakarta, his arrival was also accompanied by Deputy Minister of PANRB Purwadi Arianto and his staff.
"(Discussion) there are many PRs I have with the minister. (Including the proposal for a 2026 ASN salary increase) yes, one of them," he told the media at the Ministry of Finance, Monday, December 29.
The discussion of ASN salary increases has actually been included in Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 79 of 2025 concerning the Update of the Government Work Plan (RKP) 2025 which was signed by President Prabowo on June 30, 2025.
In the regulation it is stated that the salary adjustment will apply to ASN, TNI/Polri, and state officials.
Rini stated that in principle he supports this policy. However, its implementation must consider the country's fiscal conditions and capabilities, so it is not yet certain whether the salary increase can be realized in 2026.
"I am also happy if ASN can increase salaries, but of course we must pay attention to fiscal readiness," he explained.
Previously, Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa spoke about the possibility of increasing the salaries of State Civil Servants (ASN) in 2026.
He stated that there was always a potential for ASN salary increases every year. However, he could not confirm how much the opportunity for the increase could be realized.
"If there is always a possibility (of increasing ASN salaries), we just don't know how much the opportunity is," he told the media, Tuesday, October 22.
However, Purbaya said that until now he had not received detailed information regarding the discussion.
