Indonesia's 2025 State Budget deficit has been revised downward to 2.81% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a slight improvement from the previously reported 2.92%. Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa announced the updated figures during a plenary meeting of the House of Representatives on July 2, 2026.

The revised deficit now stands at Rp 670.34 trillion, indicating a controlled fiscal situation within safe limits, according to the minister. This adjustment reflects changes in the realization of state revenues and expenditures throughout the past year.

State revenue for 2025 was reported at Rp 2,765.13 trillion, an increase from the earlier figure of Rp 2,756.3 trillion. This revenue was sourced from tax receipts amounting to Rp 2,218.17 trillion, non-tax state revenues (PNBP) of Rp 541.53 trillion, and grants totaling Rp 5.43 trillion.

Minister Purbaya noted that optimizing state revenue in 2025 presented significant challenges, influenced by global economic volatility, adjustments to value-added tax on luxury goods (PPN BM), and efforts to maintain business liquidity. Meanwhile, total state expenditure for 2025 was realized at Rp 3,435.46 trillion, a marginal decrease from the previously reported Rp 3,451.4 trillion. This expenditure included Rp 2,586.42 trillion for the central government and Rp 449.04 trillion in transfers to regions.

The 2025 State Budget deficit is controlled within a safe limit of 2.81 percent of GDP or Rp 670.34 trillion.
