The government aims to increase state revenue to Rp3,426.0 trillion, with a 6.8% growth year-over-year, primarily through tax and non-tax revenues, as well as grants.

State expenditures are projected at Rp4,097.2 trillion, a modest 3.9% increase from the previous year, comprising Central Government Expenditure and regional transfers. The budget deficit is expected to be Rp671.2 trillion, representing a 2.40% decrease from the current target.
