Jakarta Prioritizes Flood and Waste Management Despite 2026 Budget Decrease

KBRN, Jakarta: Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo announced on Saturday, December 27, 2025, that Jakarta’s 2026 budget has been set at IDR 81.32 trillion (USD 4.84 billion) to address critical urban issues like flooding and waste management. 

Despite a significant IDR 10.54 trillion (USD 628.42 million) decrease from the previous year due to reduced central government transfers, the administration has ratified Regional Regulation (Perda) No. 4/2025 and Governor Regulation (Pergub) No. 44/2025 to ensure these strategic programs begin immediately across the capital. The establishment of these two legal foundations is expected to accelerate the implementation of Jakarta Provincial Administration programs and policies starting early in the year.​

“The 2026 Fiscal Year APBD (Regional Revenue and Expenditure) highlights a number of strategic issues, namely waste management, flood control, stunting prevention, poverty reduction, and congestion handling,” Governor Pramono said in Jakarta on Saturday, December 27, 2025, as quoted by Antara.

Pramono revealed that the total regional revenue and expenditure for the 2026 Fiscal Year is set at IDR 81.32 trillion. He detailed that regional revenue is targeted to reach IDR 71.45 trillion, with regional financing receipts amounting to IDR 9.87 trillion.

Meanwhile, regional spending is allocated at IDR 74.28 trillion, with regional financing expenditures valued at IDR 7.04 trillion. Consequently, the value of the Jakarta Provincial Administration's 2026 APBD stands at IDR 81.32 trillion, significantly lower than the 2025 APBD of IDR 91.86 trillion, representing a decrease of IDR 10.54 trillion.

Pramono explained that this decrease in the Jakarta Provincial Administration's budget was primarily caused by a drop in Regional Transfer Funds (TKD) allocated by the Central Government. These transfers fell from IDR 26.14 trillion in the 2025 Fiscal Year to only IDR 11.16 trillion for the 2026 Fiscal Year.

The largest decline occurred in the allocation of Tax Revenue Sharing Funds (DBH), which decreased by IDR 14.79 trillion. This fiscal adjustment requires the administration to be more efficient in managing its strategic urban programs for the coming year. ***
