        "summary": "Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo has urged city departments to complete planned projects progressively, after expenditure from the 2026 regional budget reached 54.39% of its allocation by the end of September. He warned that postponing work until November and December risks creating a year-end bottleneck, and said transparent budget management should be judged by its benefits to residents and public services.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo has asked\nhis officials to complete planned projects promptly so that spending\nfrom the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) does not pile up\nat the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>At a press conference on third-quarter 2026 APBD realisation at City\nHall, the Jakarta administration\u2019s expenditure was reported at Rp40.40\ntrillion, or 54.39% of the Rp74.29 trillion budget allocation, as of 30\nSeptember 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have specifically asked regional agencies to complete their\nactivities promptly so that they do not pile up at the end of the year,\u201d\nPramono said at the event on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Pramono said regional spending activities often take place towards\nthe end of the year. He said this had become a recurring practice in\nboth central and regional government.<\/p>\n<p>He said work that is accelerated only as the year draws to a close\ncan create a backlog in November and December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause this has always been a tradition, both in central and\nregional government, everything gets piled up at the end of the year,\nwhether in November, December and so on,\u201d Pramono said.<\/p>\n<p>He therefore asked his officials to complete work in stages from the\nbeginning of the year, once the APBD has been approved.<\/p>\n<p>On the same occasion, Pramono said Jakarta\u2019s regional revenue\nrealisation had reached Rp44.98 trillion, or 62.95% of the Rp71.45\ntrillion target, as of 30 September 2026.<\/p>\n<p>He said most of Jakarta\u2019s regional revenue came from tax receipts.\nRegional financing receipts stood at Rp6.46 trillion, or 64.43% of the\nRp9.88 trillion target.<\/p>\n<p>Regional financing expenditure was recorded at Rp2.02 trillion, or\n28.74% of the Rp7.04 trillion allocation.<\/p>\n<p>Pramono stressed that disclosing information on APBD realisation was\npart of the regional government\u2019s responsibility to the public.<\/p>\n<p>In his view, budget use should not be assessed solely by the size of\nrevenue and expenditure, but also by the benefits it delivers to Jakarta\nresidents.<\/p>\n<p>He said he hoped transparent budget management would strengthen\npublic trust and support development in Jakarta.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre public services in Jakarta getting better? Is economic activity\nalso improving and becoming more transparent? Is development meeting\nresidents\u2019 needs?\u201d Pramono said.<\/p>",
