Indonesia local budget accountability reforms

Entities: Malang City Council · DPRD Surabaya · Fepi Suheri · Eri Cahyadi · Sudadi

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, city councils in Ambon and Batu approved draft regulations (Ranperda) to hold the 2025 regional budget (APRD) accountable, reporting strong revenue performance and outlining reviews of non‑tax fees such as waste and parking. Mayors emphasized implementing audit recommendations and seeking new revenue sources.

A week later, legislators in Bali, Ciamis, Magelang, Halmahera Utara, Gowa, Bondowoso and other regions adopted or reviewed similar accountability drafts, highlighting clean audit opinions and operational challenges.

On 26 July, Malang’s council abstained from voting on its draft, while Batu approved strategic regulations on village governance, protection of women and children, and infrastructure management.

On 27 July, the DPRD of Bengkulu Tengah and the DPRD of Surabaya each adopted a draft regional regulation (Raperda) on 2025 APBD accountability, with Surabaya’s mayor indicating the draft will be forwarded to the East Java governor for evaluation before the 2026 financial amendment process. The same day, Mojokerto’s commission reviewed first‑semester 2026 APBD absorption, noting that spending had reached 39.57 % of the target and warning of potential end‑year bottlenecks. These actions show a widening, coordinated push across Indonesian local governments to strengthen fiscal transparency and improve budget execution ahead of the 2025 fiscal year.
