The Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, stated that government allocation for 2026 holiday allowances increased by approximately 10 per cent from Rp49 trillion in the previous year. The government commenced disbursement of holiday allowance funds to employees in stages beginning 26 February 2026 until a maximum of seven days before Eid al-Fitr.
