Transmigration Ministry Regularises Rp2,679 Trillion in Assets for Regional Infrastructure
The Ministry of Transmigration is regularising state assets worth Rp2,679 trillion to ensure that land, buildings, roads, bridges, irrigation and various facilities in transmigration areas have clear status and can be optimally utilised by the public. Asset management is an important part of the consolidation of the Ministry of Transmigration as a ministry that has once again become a standalone institution.
In addition to ensuring orderly record-keeping, the resolution of asset status is necessary so that facilities that have been built can be handed over, managed and maintained in accordance with regulations.
“What we are regularising is not merely figures on a balance sheet. Within it are roads, irrigation, public facilities and land that must provide real benefits to the public,” said Minister of Transmigration M. Iftitah Sulaiman Suryanagara, quoted on Monday (24/8/2026).
Based on the Ministry of Transmigration’s Financial Report as of 31 December 2025, total recorded assets amounted to Rp2,679 trillion. This value consists of current assets of Rp840.08 billion, fixed assets of Rp925.62 billion, and other assets of Rp913.32 billion. Within current assets, the largest proportion consists of inventories of land, buildings, equipment and machinery, as well as roads and bridges that are in the process of being handed over to fulfil transmigrant rights and improve the quality of public facilities in transmigration areas.
“We want all state assets to have clear status and be properly recorded. More importantly, those assets must be usable. Facilities should not have been built but their benefits are not yet optimal because administrative issues have not been resolved,” said Iftitah.
Of the total fixed assets of Rp925.62 billion, around 79% consists of roads, irrigation and networks resulting from previous institutional arrangements located in transmigration areas, for which the grant process to local governments has not yet been fully completed.
Completing this process is important to clarify the management and maintenance of assets so that the infrastructure that has been built can continue to be utilised by the public.
“This is transitional work that we must complete. We want the assets to be clear, the management to be clear, and most importantly, the benefits should not stop simply because the administration has not been completed,” said Iftitah.
The Ministry of Transmigration also recorded other assets of Rp913.32 billion. This value derives, among other things, from the recording of Transmigration Management Rights (HPL) that have been certified based on an inventory and valuation process.
The regularisation of HPL is part of the ministry’s efforts to provide certainty over the assets it manages while ensuring that their utilisation can support the development of transmigration areas.
As a follow-up to the recommendations of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), the Ministry of Transmigration will continue the inventory of fixed assets presented in the ministry’s opening balance sheet. The ministry is also preparing a roadmap for completing the inventory and valuation of all transmigration HPL.
“We want the asset work that is part of this institutional transition to be regularised and completed. Good governance is not the end goal. The end goal is for state assets to truly work and for their benefits to reach the public,” Iftitah stressed.
It is known that 2025 was the first year the Ministry of Transmigration carried out its duties as a standalone ministry. In addition to implementing various development programmes, the ministry carried out organisational consolidation, asset management and strengthening of governance. In the same year, the Ministry of Transmigration received an unqualified opinion (WTP) from the BPK on its 2025 Financial Report.
According to Iftitah, this achievement is not the end of the work. Asset management and follow-up on BPK recommendations must continue so that administrative order is accompanied by increasingly tangible benefits on the ground.
“The measure of success is not only that assets are recorded in an orderly manner. The measure is whether roads can be used, irrigation increases productivity, public facilities are maintained, and the public obtains benefits. That is what we want to ensure,” he concluded.
