JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung admitted that the 2026 nominal decrease in the regional budget (APBD) resulted in the DKI Provincial Government having to reduce employee recruitment quotas next year.

This year, the DKI Provincial Government opened the recruitment of 1,100 public infrastructure and facilities providers (PPSU). Then, the registration of firefighters (damkar) was also opened for up to 1,000 people.

Pramono admitted, next year the DKI Provincial Government will not be able to open the number of vacancies with the same quota.

"So far, our PJLP, like yesterday we opened a thousand firefighters, a thousand orange troops, five hundred white troops, because there is a possible reduction for next year, that opportunity will also decrease," said Pramono at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Tuesday, October 7.

The decline in APBD projection in 2016 was due to a nominal deduction of transfer funds from the central government to Jakarta amounting to IDR 15 trillion.

The initial plan, next year's APBD will be set at IDR 95 trillion, with a portion of transfer funds such as profit-sharing funds (DBH), general allocation funds (DAU), and special allocation funds (DAK) projected at IDR 26 trillion.

With this cut, the central transfer funds to Jakarta are only IDR 11 trillion and the DKI Regional Budget for the 2026 budget year will decrease to IDR 79.06 trillion.

However, Pramono emphasized that the recruitment of PPSU, firefighters, and other individual service providers (PJLP) within the DKI Provincial Government this year has not changed because budget cuts will occur next year.

"For this year, everything has not changed," said Pramono.

Furthermore, Pramono also emphasized that the DKI Provincial Government will not cut the salaries of state civil servants (ASN) due to the cuts in transfer funds which will make the APBD decline. "There is nothing related to ASN," he added.
