Indonesia Plans Rp16.84 Trillion for Special Autonomy Funds in 2027 Draft Budget

Indonesia's government plans to allocate Rp16.84 trillion for special autonomy funds in the 2027 draft state budget. This amount represents a slight increase of 0.4% compared to the estimated Rp16.77 trillion for 2026.

The allocation for Papua provinces totals Rp9.33 trillion, while Aceh province is set to receive Rp4.15 trillion. Additionally, provinces in the Papua region will receive Rp3.35 trillion through the Infrastructure Additional Fund (DTI).

For comparison, the 2026 estimates included Rp9.69 trillion for Papua provinces, Rp4.07 trillion for Aceh, and Rp3 trillion for the DTI in Papua. The government determines the allocation for Papua based on regional indicators, population, geographical challenges, development achievements, and management performance.

The DTI allocation is based on variables indicating disparities in transportation, electricity, telecommunications, clean water, and environmental sanitation infrastructure. Funding needs for DTI also consider priority requirements outlined in Papua's development acceleration plans, previous DTI performance, and the state's financial capacity.
