The Hajj Financial Management Agency (BPKH) states that the amount of hajj funds currently managed stands at Rp 180.72 trillion. “The hajj funds we manage now are around Rp 180 trillion plus, an increase from Rp 98 trillion in 2018,” said BPKH Executive Board Member Acep Riana Jayaprawira, following the Grand Hajj Ritual 1447 H/2026 CE by Bank Sumut at the Medan Hajj Dormitory Hall, North Sumatra, last Thursday (2/4/2026). He added that the hajj funds are not only stored but also developed productively through investments in line with sharia principles, safely and with full prudence to provide added value and optimal benefits as the number of Indonesian Muslims performing the fifth pillar of Islam increases. “Managed professionally to generate beneficial value, and the majority of that beneficial value, averaging around Rp 12 trillion each year, is used to subsidise the costs for regular hajj pilgrims,” he stated. Acep emphasised that BPKH is committed to managing the hajj funds professionally, transparently, safely, and in accordance with sharia principles. “Alhamdulillah, as a form of good governance, BPKH has received an Unqualified Opinion (WTP) from the Financial Audit Board seven times since its establishment in 2017,” he said.
