"I have specifically asked regional officials to complete their activities immediately so they don't pile up at the end of the year. This has always been a tradition in both the central and regional governments, where everything is piled up at the end of the year, whether it's November or December," said Pramono.
In his presentation of the 2026 Regional Budget, which was set at Rp 81.33 trillion, Pramono reported that regional revenue realization reached Rp 44.98 trillion, or 62.95 percent of the Rp 71.45 trillion target. The majority of this revenue came from taxes.
Meanwhile, the realization of regional financing receipts amounted to Rp 6.46 trillion or 64.43 percent of the target of Rp 9.88 trillion and the realization of financing expenditures was Rp 2.02 trillion or 28.74 percent of the ceiling of Rp 7.04 trillion.
Pramono explained that this achievement report is a form of accountability and transparency regarding the realization of the 2026 third-quarter regional budget.
He also ensured that the regional budget would be used to provide basic public services, encourage economic growth, and build various public facilities.
"I believe this openness will become a better thing, public trust will also increase, and this will be the main support to facilitate development in Jakarta," he stated.
