JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo ensured that the DKI Provincial Government (Pemprov) programs for the community continued despite the narrowing of transfer funds by the central government.

He said the program included the Jakarta Pinter Card (KJP), the Jakarta Superior Student Card (KJMU), and diploma bleaching.

"Of course I will try my best for KJP, KJMU, Ijazah Bleach, programs related to the interests of the people, not disturbed," Pramono said when met in the North Jakarta area, Friday, October 3.

He said that if a profit-sharing fund (DBH) is later cut by the central government, the DKI Provincial Government must be ready to innovate for future financing.

"Yes, basically Jakarta is in any condition, DBH is cut, of course we have to be ready," said Pramono.

Previously, the chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Khoirudin, revealed that the value of the 2026 DKI Regional Budget has the potential to decrease due to the central government's plan to cut transfer funds to DKI Jakarta.

In fact, the DPRD and the Provincial Government (Pemprov) of DKI has agreed on a General Policy on Budget and Priority for the Temporary Budget Ceiling (KUA-PPAS) of the 2026 Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD).

From this policy, it is projected that transfer receipts from the center, such as profit-sharing funds (DBH), general allocation funds (DAU), and special allocation funds (DAK) reach Rp26 trillion.

"Our DBH will change around Rp. 15 trillion, the remaining Rp. 11 trillion. Of course this will change the posture of the very significant changes, while we have MoU KUA-PPAS, already (compiled) RKA (budget work plan)," said Khoirudin.

The DPRD and DKI Provincial Government have planned the DKI Jakarta APBD in 2026 of IDR 95.35 trillion. This figure is up 3.8 percent compared to the APBD value in the 2025 budget year which is only IDR 91.86 trillion.

With the cuts, the transfer funds from the central government to Jakarta are only IDR 11 trillion, and the value of the 2026 DKI Regional Budget has the potential to decrease.

"Because we have MoU with a figure of Rp. 95.3 trillion. If we look at DBH today, (APBD 2026) we are around Rp. 78 trillion or Rp. 79 trillion. So, the changes are very far away," explained Khoirudin.
