Additional Regional Transfers Fully Disbursed, Post-Disaster Recovery Progressing Rapidly
The government has ensured that the additional Regional Transfers (TKD) for disaster-affected regions in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra have been fully disbursed. As of 4 May 2026, a total of Rp10.65 trillion has been released at 100 per cent to accelerate post-disaster recovery.
The TKD disbursement was carried out in stages. The first stage, amounting to Rp4.38 trillion (40 per cent), was disbursed on 27 February 2026, followed by the second stage of Rp3.19 trillion (30 per cent). Meanwhile, the third stage of Rp3.06 trillion (30 per cent) was disbursed on 4 May 2026.
All stages were implemented without disbursement conditions, allowing local governments to immediately accelerate on-the-ground recovery programmes.
This realisation also ensures that all local governments in the affected regions have sufficient fiscal space to speed up rehabilitation and reconstruction post-disaster.
In detail, Aceh received additional TKD worth Rp1.65 trillion, North Sumatra Rp6.35 trillion, and West Sumatra Rp2.63 trillion.
All funds have been fully disbursed down to the district/city governments, covering additional Profit-Sharing Funds (DBH), General Allocation Funds (DAU), and Special Autonomy Funds (Otsus).
For Aceh, eight severely affected districts/cities also received an additional Rp287 billion through a grant mechanism disbursed to a number of districts/cities in North Sumatra and West Sumatra.
Head of the Task Force for Accelerating Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (Satgas PRR) Post-Sumatra Disaster, Muhammad Tito Karnavian, stated that this TKD addition policy is a strategic step taken by President Prabowo Subianto to ensure rapid and equitable recovery across all affected areas.
“The President decided that all provinces and districts/cities would receive additional TKD. The total is around Rp10.6 trillion. This is to ensure recovery proceeds quickly and evenly,” Tito said in Medan, North Sumatra, on Wednesday (22/4).
He explained that the decision was made after considering real needs on the ground. The government not only targeted directly affected areas but all areas within a province to enable more integrated recovery processes.
“If only the directly affected areas, the amount would be around Rp8 trillion, but the President decided to provide it to all. This is a form of commitment to accelerating recovery,” he added.
Tito emphasised that the impact of the TKD disbursement is already visible on the ground. Basic infrastructure such as roads and bridges is now operational again.
Logistics distribution is no longer hindered, and basic public services like electricity, fuel, and people’s market activities have resumed in most regions.
“As of today, we see that most areas are functionally normal. Roads are passable, logistics are unproblematic, and electricity and markets are running,” he clarified.
With the full fiscal support disbursed, local governments are now in a phase of more massive recovery acceleration.
The construction of permanent housing, restoration of public facilities, and strengthening of the affected community’s economy are ensured to proceed faster with the availability of adequate budgets.
