JAKARTA - The Ministry of Public Works (PU) will apply for a loan to accelerate the implementation of the Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Regional Road (IJD) program next year.
Minister PU Dody Hanggodo said that his party had taken into account the budgetary needs to support the implementation of the program. However, funding for the IJD program will not be included in the regular budget listed in the 2027 Budget Implementation Plan.
"If the Inpres does not enter the note. The count is there, but usually later we will be asked specifically outside the regular budget," said Dody at the Ministry of PU's office, Jakarta, quoted on Saturday, June 20.
According to Dody, one of the sources of funding is a loan from the World Bank. The funds are intended to accelerate the construction and repair of regional roads through the IJD 2027 program.
"But, of course, there is a loan from the World Bank. So, we ask for a loan from the World Bank to be able to catch up with the 2027 Regional Road Decree faster," he said.
When asked about the amount of the loan to be submitted, Dody said, the value reached IDR 17 trillion.
"(What is the value?) Rp. 17 trillion," he said.
The decrease in transfers to regions (TKD) is considered to have the potential to reduce the ability of local governments to handle infrastructure in their respective regions.
Therefore, the IJD program is considered necessary to be strengthened so that the development and maintenance of road infrastructure in the region continues to run optimally.
