Jakarta – The Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa reported that as of 30 April 2026 the State Budget (APBN) recorded a deficit of Rp164.4 trillion, equal to 0.64 per cent of GDP. The deficit was lower than the Rp240.1 trillion recorded in the previous month, supported by double-digit growth in tax receipts. ‘As of April 2026 the deficit remains well-contained, measured, and aligned with the 2026 APBN design,’ Purbaya said at the APBN KiTa press conference at the Ministry of Finance in Jakarta on Tuesday 19 May 2026. He noted that state revenue in April 2026 reached Rp918.4 trillion, up 13.3 per cent, supported by tax revenue growing 16.1 per cent to Rp646.3 trillion. On the customs and excise side, contributions amounted to Rp100.6 trillion, about 29.9 per cent of total revenue. Meanwhile non-tax state revenue (PNBP) up to April 2026 stood at Rp171.3 trillion, or about 37.3 per cent of the APBN target. On the other hand, total outlays were higher than revenues; by end-April 2026 outlays reached Rp1,082.8 trillion, or 28.2 per cent of the APBN ceiling. The breakdown shows central government outlays of Rp826 trillion (26.2 per cent) and transfers to regions of Rp256.8 trillion (37.1 per cent). Central government spending includes ministry/institutional expenditure (K/L) of Rp400.5 trillion (26.5 per cent) and non-K/L expenditure of Rp425.5 trillion (26.0 per cent).
