State Revenue Is Expected to Rise
For information, the state revenue in the APBN draft (RAPBN) is projected to reach Rp3.426 trillion or grow 6,8 percent from 2026 outlook, with a ratio 12,23 percent toward Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The state revenue consists of Ro.2.908 trillion from tax revenue, non-tax state revenue (PNBP) at Rp517,4 trillion, and grant revenue at Rp0,7 trillion.
Specifically, tax revenue consists of Rp2.591,4 trillion in tax receipts and Rp316,6 trillion in custom and excise revenue.
In accordance with the economic activity strengthening and sustainability of tax reform, the ratio of tax revenue is projected to reach 10,38 percent toward GDP.
To achieve that target, the government will continue the tax reform sustainably, including tax policy harmonization to enhance the state revenue’s capacity and base.
“The rise in compliance becomes a key to optimize revenue through the use of technology, strengthening inter-institutional synergy, and a more effective law enforcement,” said Purbaya.

BPP 2027 will be directed to high-qualified expenditure by maintaining public services and supporting the public's purchasing power to achieve sustainable development.
While, TKD 2027 policy is expected to be capable of strengthening the quality of regional expenditure and support a more equitable and sustainable development.
According to that state revenue and expenditure, the budget deficit is set at Rp671,2 trillion or 2,40 percent from GDP, with a measured and controlled debt ratio and kept at a safe limit.
In line with that, the 2027 financing policy remains to be directed prudently, measurably, and innovatively to support national priority programs by maintaining fiscal sustainability.
“With that policy, RAPBN 2027 remains expansive yet measured, with a deficit of 2,4 percent (from) PDB, so that APBN is able to encourage growth as well as maintain fiscal sustainability,” he said.
