Praise for Ahmad Luthfi as Central Java's Housing Credit Distribution Reaches Rp 2.3 Trillion

Based on data from the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (Kementerian PKP), the realisation of People’s Business Credit (KUR) in the housing sector or KPP credit from 1 January to 1 April 2026 places Central Java at the top rank nationally with a value of approximately Rp 2.3 trillion. The largest distributions are in Brebes Regency at Rp 131.5 billion, Banyumas Rp 117.4 billion, and Sragen Rp 115.6 billion.

“We must learn from Central Java and its Governor. This Housing Credit is President Prabowo Subianto’s programme to stimulate the economy. I’m very pleased that Central Java is number one,” said Maruarar in a written statement on Friday (3/4/2026).

He conveyed this during a meeting with Ahmad Luthfi at the Ministry of PKP office in Jakarta yesterday.

In addition to housing credit, Central Java has also recorded strong achievements in the Liquidity Facility for Public Housing Finance (FLPP) programme or subsidised housing. Data from the Ministry of PKP indicates that Central Java is in second place nationally for this programme. In 2025, FLPP financing in Central Java reached 24,470 units.

“If possible, this year (2026) it will be 40,000 units. It has been prepared and coordinated with the Minister of ATR/BPN, who said Central Java is also the highest in land data collection that can be used for settlements,” explained Maruarar.

During the meeting, Maruarar also discussed other plans to accelerate housing and settlement programmes in 2026. These include the Self-Help Housing Stimulus Assistance (BSPS) or house renovation, apartments, slum settlement improvements, and empowerment of roof tile UMKM.

“The roof tile centres in Central Java are in Kebumen and Jepara; we will utilise them, so using roof tiles from Central Java to advance UMKM,” he stated.

Meanwhile, Luthfi explained that the handling of the 2025 housing backlog in Central Java was 274,514 units. The remaining housing backlog is around 1,058,454 units, or a decrease of approximately 20%. This handling comes from regional budgets (APBD), provincial and regency/city APBD, Baznas, corporate CSR, community participation, and others.

“Today, we propose regarding BSPS 2026. For handling slum settlements, we propose in Batang, Banyumas, Jepara, and possibly in Semarang City. We also propose apartments,” said Luthfi.

For information, at this meeting, Luthfi was accompanied by the Regent of Jepara, Regent of Batang, Regent of Brebes, Regent of Temanggung, Regent of Banyumas, Regent of Grobogan, and Deputy Regent of Boyolali.
