JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto is scheduled to deliver a state of the nation address at the Annual Session of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) and the Joint Session of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) and the Indonesian DPD on Friday, August 14, 2026.
On the same day, Prabowo will also deliver the Draft State Budget Law (RUU) for the 2027 Fiscal Year along with the Financial Statement in the Plenary Session of the Indonesian House of Representatives.
Based on information uploaded through the official Instagram account of the Ministry of State Secretariat, President Prabowo will deliver two speeches in the agenda.
The state of the nation address in the Annual Meeting of the MPR RI and the Joint Meeting of the DPR RI-DPD RI is scheduled to begin at 08.30 WIB.
Furthermore, at 14.30 WIB, Prabowo will deliver the 2027 Budget APBN Bill along with the Financial Statement in the DPR RI Plenary Session.
Member of Commission XI of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the Gerindra Party Faction, Khamarussamad, said that one of the things that is awaited from the state of the nation is the affirmation of the government's commitment to the mandate of Article 27 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution regarding the right of every citizen to obtain employment and a decent living.
According to Khamarussamad, this is important because this speech is Prabowo's second state speech since leading the government.
"This is important because this is President Prabowo's second state speech in carrying out his missions, in carrying out government programs, in carrying out national leadership. That every citizen has the right to a decent life and a decent job for humanity," he told the media.
He assessed that the constitutional mandate needs to be realized through concrete national development strategies, especially through economic policies that are capable of creating quality growth.
Khamarussamad emphasized that the success of economic growth should not be measured solely based on the increase in gross domestic product (GDP).
He added that the government also needed to show how much growth was able to create new jobs, including sectors that were sources of labor absorption.
"Every 1 percent economic growth must be able to create jobs. How many jobs are created? In which sector? In which field?" he said.
In addition to creating jobs, he also highlighted the implementation of the downstream policy, which has been one of the government's strategies in increasing the added value of the economy.
He added that the impact of industrialization must be felt directly by the community, especially through increased employment opportunities.
According to him, this is considered increasingly important entering the second year of Prabowo's administration because the government has a target to encourage economic growth to reach 8 percent in 2029.
Khamarussamad, conveyed that the target requires a clear strategy regarding sources of economic growth, because every policy and priority program of the government must have a measurable contribution, both to economic growth and employment absorption.
He also saw that the presence of Danantara could be one of the new drivers of national economic growth and Danantara was expected to not only play a role in managing state assets, but also be able to encourage investment that generates added value while opening up employment opportunities.
To achieve higher economic growth, Khamarussamad said there were four main sources that needed to be optimized, namely the state budget, foreign investment, domestic investment, and consolidation through Danantara.
However, he assessed that the government still needed to provide a more measurable explanation regarding the contribution of each of these sources to the economic growth target of 8 percent.
"This is what we have not received the count in the DPR from the government, especially from Danantara. And we ask DIM to immediately submit contributions to economic growth," he said.
In addition to pursuing economic growth, Khamarussamad assessed that the government needed to strengthen cross-sector coordination and policy communication.
According to him, this step is important to reduce uncertainty in the market and the community while ensuring that the direction of economic policy remains consistent.
He emphasized that government policies must be able to maintain a balance between efforts to encourage economic growth, create jobs, and provide certainty for the business world.
"The government's policy direction is considered to be really pro-growth, pro-job, and also pro-business to encourage the business world. So these three commitments must run in a balanced and harmonious manner," he said.
Previously, the DPR RI Plenary Meeting had approved the results of the preliminary discussion of the Draft State Budget (RAPBN) and the Government Work Plan (RKP) 2027.
The agreement will serve as a basis for the government in drafting the State Budget Bill and the Budget Year 2027 Financial Statement.
Speaker of the House of Representatives Puan Maharani said the results of the preliminary discussion of the 2027 RAPBN and RKP would be a guideline in the preparation of the 2027 RAPBN.
"The report on the results of the preliminary discussion of the 2027 RAPBN and 2027 RKP will be a guideline in the preparation of the 2027 Draft State Budget," he said in the 23rd DPR RI Plenary Meeting of the V Session, Thursday, July 2.
