President Prabowo Subianto will deliver two state addresses at the MPR/DPR/DPD Building in Jakarta today, Friday, 14 August 2026. The annual state of the nation address, which is routinely held ahead of Independence Day on 17 August, has been brought forward from its usual date of 16 August because that date falls on a weekend.

Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR) Puan Maharani explained the scheduling change. “The reason it is being held on Friday, 14 August, rather than the usual 16 August, is because according to the rules, the Annual Session and the submission of the State Budget Bill are not customarily held on Saturdays and Sundays,” she said in a written statement.

The president’s state address will be delivered twice. The first will take place during the MPR Annual Session and the Joint Session of the DPR and the Regional Representatives Council (DPD). The second will occur during the DPR Plenary Meeting.

“Alhamdulillah, the Annual Session this year will be held on Friday, 14 August, from 08:30 to 11:00 WIB. At 14:30, we will listen to the government present its priority programmes,” Puan stated.

She emphasised that the submission of the 2027 State Budget Bill (RAPBN) is a crucial agenda item, as the DPR will hear directly the government’s priority programmes which will form the basis for state budget deliberations. “Of course, we hope that during the submission of the 2027 Fiscal Year RAPBN, we will hear the government present its priority programmes, which will hopefully benefit the nation and the state,” she said.
