JAKARTA - The Probolinggo Regency Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) for the 2023 fiscal year are predicted to experience a deficit of IDR 126 billion. The reason is that there is a difference between regional income and regional expenditure.

"The regional revenue target is IDR 1.84 trillion and the regional expenditure target is IDR 1.97 trillion, resulting in a deficit of around IDR 126 billion", said the Secretary of the Probolinggo Regency Soeparwiyono at the plenary meeting of the Probolinggo Regent's Explanation Note on the 2023 Regional Budget Raperda at the Probolinggo Regency DPRD, East Java, Tuesday, October 18, as reported by Antara.

In the Regent's Explanation Note, it was stated that the total regional income in 2023 can be projected to reach IDR 1.8 trillion, which consists of the original regional income which is budgeted at IDR 253.72 billion, then the transfer income is budgeted at IDR 1.59 trillion.

"This has decreased by IDR 480.66 billion compared to regional revenues in the regional revenue and expenditure budget for the 2022 budget year which reached IDR 2.32 trillion", he said.

According to him, the projected decline in regional income comes from projected revenues from special allocation funds, regional incentive funds, and provincial financial assistance which cannot yet be determined because they have to wait for the determination of the State Budget (APBN) for the 2023 fiscal year and the Provincial APBD for the 2023 fiscal year.

He explained that regional expenditures in the APBD for the 2023 fiscal year are projected at IDR 1.97 trillion, with details of operating expenditures being budgeted at IDR 1.3 trillion; capital expenditure is budgeted at IDR 95 billion; unexpected expenditure is budgeted at IDR 10 billion, transfer expenditure is budgeted at IDR 562 billion.

This has decreased by IDR 480 billion or 24 percent compared to regional expenditures in the 2022 budget year budget of IDR 2.45 trillion.

Regional financing for the 2023 fiscal year is directed to the remaining more than last year's budget calculations (Silpa). The plan for receiving regional financing for the 2023 fiscal year is carried out through the use of Silpa 2022, the amount of which is estimated based on the position and condition of the regional treasury in December 2022, while the 2023 financing expenditure has not been budgeted.

"Regarding the existence of the deficit, it will be covered through a regional financing surplus, so that the budget for the 2023 fiscal year will have a balanced budget", he said.
