In late July 2026, the Gianyar Regional House in Bali approved the 2027 General Budget Policy (KUA) and Temporary Budget Ceiling (PPAS). Simultaneously, Jember’s DPRD in East Java closed its budget deliberations to journalists after a vote by seven factions.

A week later Batam City Council debated raising the 2026 municipal revenue target by about Rp 71 billion; on 3 August 2026 Mayor Haji Amsakar Achmad presented a revised plan lifting total revenue to roughly Rp 4.255 trillion, driven by higher local taxes and an increased PAD allocation.

In Blitar, council members boycotted the 2026‑27 KUA‑PPAS plenary over a Rp 10 billion reserve for the 2029 local elections, leaving the session without a quorum and prompting a postponement.

On 4 August 2026 the Gorontalo Provincial DPRD’s budget committee finalized the KUA‑PPAS amendment for the 2026 APBD, and the next day Pasaman Barat Regency announced a 21 % increase in expenditures to Rp 1.38 trillion, funded by projected revenue growth of 15 % to Rp 1.30 trillion.

On 5 August 2026 Seram Bagian Timur recorded a Rp 46.4 billion deficit for 2025, covered by net financing from the previous year’s surplus. Gorontalo’s budget committee continued work on the 2026 APBD amendment under Chair Thomas MT Mopili. East Java’s 2026 APBD amendment allocated over Rp 1 trillion to roads, bridges and flood‑mitigation infrastructure, raising the provincial budget to Rp 29.8 trillion.
