        "summary": "The Indonesian Ministry of Home Affairs has outlined changes to the Natural Resource Profit-Sharing Fund (DBH) scheme under Law No. 1 of 2022 on Financial Relations between the Central Government and Regional Governments, expanding recipients to include not only producing regions but also directly impacted areas and processing regions. While producing regions retain the largest shares, the new categories aim to address environmental and infrastructural burdens on affected areas, with further government regulations forthcoming to define eligibility criteria ahead of full implementation in 2027. The updated mechanism shifts to using actual revenue from the previous year for more accurate and transparent calculations, emphasising the need for detailed regional data reconciliation.",
        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) has explained changes to\nthe Natural Resource Profit-Sharing Fund (DBH) scheme in Law No.\u00a01 of\n2022 on Financial Relations between the Central Government and Regional\nGovernments (HKPD). Under the new regulations, DBH recipients are no\nlonger limited to producing regions but also include directly impacted\nregions and processing regions. According to Horas Maurits Panjaitan,\nSecretary of the Directorate General of Regional Financial Development\nat the Ministry of Home Affairs, the main principle of DBH distribution\nremains the by origin approach, based on the origin of the natural\nresources. \u201cProducing regions will still receive the largest portion,\nwhether mining areas, oil and gas wells, or forest concession areas,\u201d\nMaurits said at the National Development Orchestration Forum as part of\nthe Appreciation for High-Performing Regional Governments 2026 in the\nKalimantan Region recently. However, he continued, the new regulations\nexpand the scope of DBH recipients by including categories of directly\nimpacted regions and natural resource processing regions. According to\nMaurits, directly impacted regions are areas that do not directly\nproduce natural resources but receive the effects of exploitation\nactivities. Examples include regions bordering mining areas or\nexploitation zones that experience external impacts such as pollution,\nenvironmental damage, and infrastructural burdens from industrial\nactivities. \u201cThis includes regions traversed or directly bordering and\naffected by natural resource activities, even if they are not\nproducers,\u201d he stated. Blora is an example of a region that can be\ncategorised as directly impacted. In addition to impacted regions, the\nnew rules introduce the category of processing regions, namely areas\nwhere natural resources are further processed, such as nickel smelter\nzones, oil refineries, or other mining product processing centres.\nNevertheless, Maurits said that the status of processing regions does\nnot automatically entitle them to the same DBH portion as producing\nregions. \u201cWe are concerned about the assumption that having a smelter or\nprocessing automatically grants a share like producing regions. That is\nnot automatic,\u201d he remarked. According to Maurits, the government is\ncurrently preparing follow-up government regulations (PP) to clarify\nindicators and variables for determining impacted and processing\nregions. He stated that support from regional governments will be very\nimportant, especially in the reconciliation and validation of data ahead\nof the full implementation of the new scheme in 2027. Besides changes to\nrecipient categories, the DBH calculation mechanism has also been\nrevised. In the old system, calculations still used a projection\napproach, but now the government uses the basis of actual receipts from\nthe previous year or t-1 realisation. With this new system, the DBH\namount is deemed more certain because it uses real receipt data. The\ngovernment is also preparing derivative rules regarding the underpayment\nmechanism for DBH. Currently, Maurits said, regulations in the form of\nMinistry of Finance Regulation (PMK) No.\u00a0120 have been issued, and the\ncentral government is processing the Minister of Finance\u2019s decision as\nthe basis for disbursing underpayments in the 2026 fiscal year for 2024\nobligations. Maurits added that implementing the new scheme requires\nmore detailed data readiness from regional governments so that DBH\ncalculations can be carried out more accurately and transparently. \u201cThe\nkey is that the data used is based on realisation, and data\nreconciliation will be very important,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
