  • Indonesia's National Police (Polri) are requesting an additional budget of 66.1 trillion rupiah for the 2027 fiscal year.
  • This request aims to bring Polri's ideal budget to 184 trillion rupiah, an increase from the 2026 budget and the indicative 2027 allocation.
  • The proposed increase is attributed to rising fuel prices and the current exchange rate of the rupiah against the U.S. dollar.

Indonesia's National Police (Polri) have formally requested an additional budget of 66.1 trillion rupiah for the 2027 fiscal year. This proposed increase, presented by Vice National Police Chief Komjen Dedi Prasetyo during a working meeting with Commission III of the House of Representatives, aims to meet Polri's ideal budget requirement of 184 trillion rupiah. This figure represents a significant rise from the indicative budget they initially received for 2027, which was around 118 trillion rupiah, and is also higher than the 2026 budget of 187 trillion rupiah.

According to Dedi Prasetyo, the calculation for the increased budget need is based on anticipated rises in fuel prices and the current exchange rate of the rupiah against the U.S. dollar. "After rationalization with calculations for the increase in fuel prices and the current rupiah exchange rate against the U.S. dollar, the ideal budget requirement for Polri for the 2027 fiscal year increases to 184 trillion rupiah," he stated in his presentation. The proposed additional funds are intended to cover various sectors, including employee expenditure (4.5 trillion rupiah), goods expenditure (20.9 trillion rupiah), and capital expenditure (40.6 trillion rupiah).

With this, when compared to the indicative budget for the 2027 fiscal year, there is still a shortfall of Rp66.1 trillion.

The proposal signifies Polri's strategic planning to ensure adequate resources for its operations and development in the coming years, factoring in economic variables that impact its financial needs.
