JAKARTA - The realization of DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) spending until mid-2026 is still at 33 percent of the total budget ceiling. This condition makes the DKI Jakarta DPRD ask the local government to accelerate the implementation of the program so that there is no accumulation of work towards the end of the year.
Chairman of Commission D of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Yuke Yurike said that the acceleration of budget absorption needed to be carried out since the middle of the year, especially by breaking down the obstacles that still exist in each local government.
Until June 30, 2026, DKI Jakarta's regional spending was recorded as only Rp24.73 trillion from the ceiling of Rp74.28 trillion. Meanwhile, regional revenue reached Rp29.29 trillion or around 41 percent of the target of Rp71.45 trillion.
Yuke said the DPRD continues to encourage the DKI Provincial Government to carry out the planning process earlier so that the implementation of activities does not accumulate at the end of the fiscal year.
"We are indeed continuing to encourage the acceleration of budget absorption. The Governor has also instructed that all planning processes be carried out early so that implementation can be faster," said Yuke, Thursday, July 23.
According to him, Commission D also monitors various obstacles that hinder the realization of the budget, ranging from administrative issues to the procurement process for goods and services.
He reminded that the pattern of work that had just been rushed at the end of the year could reduce the effectiveness of government programs and risk making the benefits of development late in receiving the community.
"Don't let new jobs be completed in the fourth quarter or towards the end of the year. Such patterns are no longer relevant," said Yuke.
Previously, the Governor of DKI Jakarta Pramono Anung conveyed that the performance of the Regional Budget and Expenditure (APBD) until the second quarter of 2026 would continue to support the sustainability of development and public services. The DKI Provincial Government stated that it would accelerate spending so that government programs would be immediately felt by residents.
"The APBD must be an instrument that is able to maintain economic stability while accelerating development. Every rupiah spent must provide real benefits, strengthen public services, and improve the welfare of the people of Jakarta," said Pramono at the DKI Jakarta City Hall, Wednesday, July 22.
Apart from spending and revenue, DKI's financing revenue until the end of June 2026 has reached Rp5.82 trillion or 58.92 percent of the target. Meanwhile, new financing expenditures were realized at Rp574.9 billion or 8.17 percent of the ceiling.
The DKI Provincial Government recorded that as many as 118,161 procurement packages had been completed by the end of the second quarter. Packages that are still running will continue to be monitored to ensure that the program is implemented according to schedule.
On the other hand, Jakarta's economic conditions still show a positive trend. Jakarta's economic growth in the first quarter of 2026 was recorded at 5.59 percent on an annual basis, driven by community consumption, business activities, and the trade sector.
Consumption indicators also show that people's purchasing power is still maintained. The Consumer Confidence Index in June 2026 was at the level of 144.4, while real sales grew 8.90 percent compared to the same period last year.
The increase in community activity is also seen from the use of public transportation. In the second quarter of 2026, the number of public transportation users reached 230.8 million passengers or grew 9.70 percent year-on-year.
"Economic growth must be felt by the community. Therefore, we continue to strengthen connectivity through public transportation, presenting various activities that drive the economy, while maintaining price stability so that people's purchasing power is maintained," said Pramono.
Meanwhile, Jakarta's inflation in June 2026 was recorded at 2.78 percent on an annual basis. This figure is still within the national target range and is supported by the government's efforts to maintain the supply and distribution of people's needs.
