Govt Appreciates House for Passing the 2025 State Budget Accountability Law

RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta – The Indonesian government appreciated the House of Representatives (DPR) for officially passing the Bill on Accountability for the Implementation of the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (RUU P2 APBN) for Fiscal Year 2025 into Law on Thursday, August 27, 2026. This approval serves as a positive signal for global investors regarding Indonesia's commitment to maintaining transparency and financial governance stability amid global economic volatility.

The enactment was based on the 2025 Central Government Financial Report (LKPP), which earned an Unqualified Opinion (WTP)—the highest audit rating—from the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK). This achievement marks the government's success in maintaining the highest standard of accountability for ten consecutive years since 2016.

The cooperative attitude of the legislative body is considered key to maintaining the effectiveness of state budget functions throughout the past fiscal cycle. The government emphasized that credible budget accountability will further strengthen international market confidence in national economic resilience.

“On behalf of the government, we express our highest appreciation to the leadership and all members of the House for their support and excellent cooperation throughout the state budget cycle, from planning, enactment, execution, to the accountability process for Fiscal Year 2025,” Minister of Finance, Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, stated when delivering the Government's Final Opinion in Jakarta, Thursday, August 27, 2026.

Through efficient budget management, the Indonesian economy was proven to remain solid, growing by 5.11 percent amidst pressures from trade fragmentation and escalating global geopolitics. This fiscal success also contributed to improvements in social welfare indicators, including lower unemployment and poverty rates.

“However, we should be grateful that amid global turmoil, Indonesia's economic stability remains intact. Indonesia's economy in 2025 grew by 5.11 percent (yoy), with inflation maintained at 2.92 percent and the budget deficit at 2.81 percent of GDP,” the Finance Minister noted.

Moving forward, the government is fully committed to implementing all inputs and recommendations from the House to enhance the quality of state financial management. Close collaboration between the executive and legislative branches is expected to continue in responding to dynamic global economic challenges in a responsive and measured manner.
