Earlier, Prabowo said the state budget deficit remained under control at 0.91 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) through the end of July 2026, despite strong growth in state spending absorption. The government recorded state revenue growth of 21.3 percent through the end of July 2026 compared with the same period the previous year, while state spending grew 18.2 percent. The growth in state spending was prioritized to maintain public purchasing power, strengthen public services, and drive the national economy while maintaining fiscal discipline. Based on data from the Financial System Stability Committee (KSSK), state revenue realization through the end of the second quarter of 2026 reached Rp1,459.4 trillion, growing 21.4 percent year-on-year. State spending realization reached Rp1,656 trillion, growing 17.8 percent year-on-year, with central government spending at Rp1,298.6 trillion. The growth in government spending was driven by several strategic programs, including the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program, social aid disbursement, infrastructure development, holiday allowance (THR) and 13th-month salary payments, pension benefits, and energy subsidies and compensation.
