The Budget Committee of the Karangasem DPRD has called on all\nregional government agencies to optimise budget absorption under the\nimplementation of the 2026 revised regional budget. The move is intended\nto reduce the year-end budget surplus (SiLPA), ensuring available funds\nare used and directly benefit the public.<\/p>\n
The matter was discussed at a meeting between the DPRD Budget\nCommittee and the Regional Government Budget Team on the 2026 revised\nbudget, held in the DPRD\u2019s joint meeting room on Tuesday (27 October\n2026).<\/p>\n
Karangasem DPRD chairman I Wayan Suastika said deliberations on the\n2026 revised budget had concluded. The local government must now ensure\nthat planned programmes are carried out effectively, despite the\nincreasingly limited time remaining before the end of the year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope that revenue and budget absorption in each agency will be\nfully optimised. We want to reduce the SiLPA so that available funds can\nbe put to good use and directly benefit the public,\u201d Suastika said.<\/p>\n
In addition to budget absorption, the DPRD Budget Committee discussed\na Special Financial Assistance grant (BKK) from Gianyar Regency to\nKarangasem Regency. The grant, previously planned at Rp2.5 billion, has\nnow been restored to Rp5 billion, in line with the original proposal.\nThe funds are intended to support infrastructure development through the\nPublic Works and Spatial Planning Agency (PUPR).<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was initially Rp2.5 billion. Another Rp2.5 billion has now been\nadded, bringing it back to Rp5 billion, in accordance with our original\nproposal,\u201d Suastika said.<\/p>\n
Although the BKK amount has been restored to the original proposal,\nSuastika stressed that the additional funding must not be used to launch\nnew physical projects. Only around 45 effective days are estimated to\nremain for implementing activities under the 2026 revised budget. The\nfunds could therefore be directed towards other, more beneficial\nactivities.<\/p>\n
He said adding physical projects at the end of the budget year could\nput completion at risk. Budget implementation must therefore take\naccount of the available time and the agencies\u2019 capacity to deliver\nprogrammes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have made it clear that there must be no new physical projects.\nThere are only about 45 effective days left,\u201d Suastika said.<\/p>\n
The DPRD Budget Committee also examined the use of Rp477 million in\nprovincial revenue-sharing funds. Some of the money will be assigned to\nthe PUPR Agency for supervision and related purposes, while the\nremainder will be channelled to the Unexpected Expenditure (BTT) budget.\nThe move is intended to prepare for potential disasters during the\ncurrent rainy season.<\/p>\n
Suastika said budget readiness was necessary from the outset so that\nthe local government could respond quickly in an emergency. With funds\navailable in the BTT allocation, disaster response is expected to\nproceed without waiting for the next budget process.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a precautionary measure for the rainy season. We hope\nKarangasem remains safe, but we need to be prepared from the outset so\nwe are not caught off guard if something happens,\u201d Suastika said.<\/p>\n
Suastika said he hoped all agencies would follow the direction by\nmaximising revenue and expenditure realisation through the end of the\nbudget year. With sound planning and measured implementation, the 2026\nrevised budget is expected to be spent as fully as possible and deliver\ntangible benefits for development and the welfare of Karangasem\nresidents.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/karangasem-dprd-urges-agencies-to-accelerate-budget-spending-with-45-effective-days-remaining-1793098255", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
