Manokwari (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Finance, through the Directorate General of Treasury (DJPb), is implementing three strategies to optimise non-tax state revenue (PNBP) performance in West Papua Province and Southwest Papua throughout 2026.

The Head of the West Papua DJPb Regional Office, Moch Abdul Kobir, stated in an official release in Manokwari on Thursday that the strategies include strengthening the governance of public service agencies (BLU) to enhance flexibility, accountability, and professionalism.

Additionally, increasing the capacity of BLU managers, which positively impacts the quality of services to the public, and applying performance-based budgeting principles and value for money.

“As the regional chief economist, DJPb provides fiscal analysis and early warnings to ministries/institutions, including local governments, to drive improvements in BLU and BLUD performance,” Kobir said.

According to him, the implementation of these three strategies is not only oriented towards increasing PNBP values but also prioritises the quality and standards of services for the public in West Papua and Southwest Papua.

The policy on setting or adjusting PNBP tariffs is the authority of each ministry/institution work unit as the service provider. However, the Ministry of Finance plays a role in ensuring professional BLU management.

“Regarding PNBP tariffs, the Ministry of Finance is not directly involved. But we have an important role in ensuring that PNBP management runs healthily, transparently, and accountably,” he said.

According to him, PNBP tariff evaluations are conducted periodically and selectively, considering several key aspects, including the cost of service provision, service quality and standards, public purchasing power, and economic impacts.

All optimisation steps taken are government efforts to maintain the composition of state revenue from the PNBP sector sustainably without imposing excessive burdens on the public.

“PNBP is the most important part of state revenue,” Kobir said.

He noted that PNBP realisations in West Papua and Southwest Papua for the February 2026 period were recorded at Rp66 billion, consisting of other PNBP components at Rp45.9 billion and BLU PNBP at Rp20.1 billion.

PNBP performance contracted by 12 per cent (year on year/yoy) compared to realisations in February 2025, influenced by various factors such as reduced government spending, global volatility in oil and mining commodity prices.

“This includes the shift in BUMN (State-Owned Enterprises) dividend management to Danantara, which also affects PNBP performance. The 2026 PNBP target is Rp374 billion,” he said.
