JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo held a special meeting with his staff to discuss cutting transfer funds from the central government to Jakarta.

"Incidentally, it will be 16.00 WIB for a special meeting regarding this. I want to get a report first from the Head of BAPENDA (Regional Revenue Agency) and also of course from the Regional Secretary (Regional Secretary) for how we deal with this," Pramono said as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, October 3.

He admitted that he had heard information from the DPR's Budget Agency regarding the deduction of Revenue Sharing Funds (DBH) from the central government to Jakarta.

Therefore, Pramono and his staff immediately took into account Jakarta's future budget planning.

However, even though the central government cut DBH for Jakarta, Pramono said that his party would make a number of breakthroughs so that Jakarta's development would continue without relying too much on the budget.

One of the breakthroughs, he said, was a policy related to the Building Floor Coefficient (KLB) which had been protracted for up to 12 years, now the bureaucratic affairs related to the policy can be completed in a maximum of 15 days.

Thus, the breakthrough could be a new opportunity to strengthen regional revenue and attract investors.

"In my opinion, this will be an encouragement for entrepreneurs in Jakarta to take advantage of the facility, and now it is completely transparent, open, 15 days must be completed," 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.
