Indonesian regional fiscal and budgetary challenges

Overview

Indonesian legislators are addressing various fiscal challenges facing regional governments. Concerns have been raised regarding the deactivation of millions of health insurance participants under the PBI-JK scheme following a data cleansing process. This shift is expected to place significant pressure on regional budgets, as local governments may need to reallocate funds to maintain Universal Health Coverage, particularly in areas with limited financial capacity.

In response to broader fiscal difficulties, the Legislative Body of the House of Representatives (Baleg DPR RI) is reviewing Law Number 1 of 2022 concerning Financial Relations between the Central Government and Regional Governments (UU HKPD). Current regulations limiting regional personnel spending to 30 percent of the Regional Budget have reportedly caused deficits and salary cuts for civil servants in several areas. Legislative discussions are now focusing on potential policy relaxation and more proportional revenue-sharing to address these regional budget deficits.
