Finance Ministry Launches PERDANA to Track Regional Transfer Spending Down to the Last Rupiah
The Ministry of Finance, under the leadership of Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, officially launched the Mapping of Indicated Funding Needs for Regional Priority Development Activities (PERDANA) feature within the Regional Financial Information System (SIKD) on Wednesday (17/6). This new feature in SIKD can trace the contribution of every rupiah planned and spent through the regional transfer scheme (TKD) towards development outputs, implementation locations, fulfilled needs, and supported development priorities.
“With PERDANA, the Ministry of Finance encourages TKD management that focuses not only on the size of budget allocations, but also on development results and benefits,” according to a statement on the Ministry of Finance’s website, Jakarta, Friday (19/6/2026). PERDANA is the result of collaborative development between the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance (DJPK) and the Finance Technology, Information, and Intelligence Agency (BaTii) in integrating business processes, data, and information technology.
The new feature in SIKD was launched directly by the Director General of Fiscal Balance, Askolani, and is part of the Ministry of Finance’s transformation in strengthening the governance of Regional Transfers (TKD) through a more integrated, standardised, and evidence-based fiscal information base. “The PERDANA feature is presented to strengthen the function of the Minister of Finance as the State General Treasurer (BUN) in managing state expenditure, particularly Regional Transfers, which are a major component of the state budget (APBN). Through this feature, funding needs, priority activities, and regional development outputs can be mapped more clearly from the planning stage,” as stated in the Ministry of Finance’s press release.
The launch of PERDANA also marks a shift in TKD management, which is no longer viewed solely from the aspects of allocation, distribution, and administrative compliance, but also from the state’s ability to identify regional development needs, determine priorities, and measure achieved results as a basis for formulating more targeted policies. Furthermore, PERDANA is an initial step in strengthening the standardisation of TKD governance for which usage has been determined. Through policy simplification and output standardisation, the Ministry of Finance is building a stronger data foundation to support more effective planning, budgeting, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of TKD policies.
The Ministry of Finance emphasised that the data collected in PERDANA should not be interpreted as a promise of budget allocation or a direct funding proposal mechanism. The data serves as a strategic information base to map the funding needs of regional priority development activities while supporting the analysis and discussion process of TKD policies within the framework of national fiscal policy harmonisation. Going forward, PERDANA is expected to become an important foundation in the transformation of regional transfer governance that is increasingly credible, accountable, and results-oriented. With the support of a stronger and more integrated database, the Ministry of Finance continues to promote fiscal management that is more responsive to national and regional development needs.
