Purbaya Confirms 2027 Fiscal Policy Will Support 60 National Priority Programmes Across 8 Clusters

Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has designated eight programmes as the focus of fiscal policy in the 2027 State Budget (APBN). "Fiscal policy is focused on supporting eight clusters of National Priority Work Programmes (PKPN) and one supporting group (enabler) consisting of 60 work programmes," Purbaya said during a House of Representatives (DPR RI) Plenary Meeting in Jakarta on Tuesday, 9 June 2026. The eight programmes cover food sovereignty; energy and water self-sufficiency; education; health; downstream processing and industrialisation; infrastructure, housing, and disaster resilience; strengthening the people’s economy and village development; and poverty reduction. Meanwhile, the supporting group includes strengthening defence and security, law enforcement, governance, accelerating digitalisation, and economic diplomacy. "Therefore, the APBN must be kept healthy, credible, and sustainable," Purbaya stated. To support this agenda, the Government is optimising state revenue through tax reform and digitalisation, expanding the revenue base, and strengthening the governance of non-tax state revenue (PNBP). On the spending side, the government continues to enhance expenditure quality to be more efficient, productive, well-targeted, and to have a tangible impact on the public. This includes strengthening social protection based on the Single National Socio-Economic Data (DTSEN). The government will also manage financing wisely and innovatively to maintain fiscal resilience. Various innovative financing schemes will be developed through synergy with the Danantara Investment Authority, Special Mission Vehicles (SMV), Public Service Agencies (BLU), and Sovereign Wealth Funds to support national economic transformation. Consequently, the fiscal posture for 2027 is designed collaboratively, directionally, and measurably, with the following details: The APBN deficit in the range of 1.8 per cent to 2.4 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP); State revenue at 11.82 per cent to 12.40 per cent of GDP; State expenditure at 13.62 per cent to 14.80 per cent of GDP.
