The City Budget (APBD) which uses the Gubernatorial Regulation (Pergub) as the legal protection will be followed by City Budget Amendment that also uses the regulation as the legal protection.

I've asked to Mendagri. Jakarta will only use the Gubernatorial Regulation for 2015. The b ylaw will be discussed for 2016

Jakarta Vice Governor, Djarot Saiful Hidajat justified the 2015 City Budget Amendment will only use the Gubernatorial Regulation.

"I've asked to Mendagri. Jakarta will only use the Gubernatorial Regulation for 2015. The bylaw will be discussed for 2016," told Djarot at Jakarta City Hall, Friday (4/17).

Djarot mentioned, the Budget Amendment will be presented on upcoming June or July. Some activities that are not included in 2015 City Budget will be inserted in City Budget Amendment. In 2015, the total budget was set at Rp 69.28 trillion. This value is lower than 2014 City Budget of Rp 72.9 trillion.

In the 2015 City Budget, the budget cap of regional expenditure amounted of Rp 63.65 trillion and the regional expenses amounted of Rp 5.6 trillion. This means that there is a reduction in City Budget of Rp 3.61 trillion. Some budgets that reduced by the Home Affairs Ministry (Mendagri) are personnel expenditure budget, grants, and the socialization cost.

"We predicted the Budget Amendment will be set around June or July, because it will use Gubernatorial Regulation" Djarot predicted.
