UNAIR NEWS<\/strong> \u2013 Indonesia\u2019s Ministry of Finance plans to raise its 2026 tax revenue target to Rp2,357.7 trillion, a 13.5 percent increase from the 2025 target of Rp2,076.9 trillion.<\/p>\n\n

Professor Rossanto Dwi Handoyo, SE, M.Si., Ph.D., from Universitas Airlangg<\/a>a\u2019s Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), cautioned against the risks of this plan. \u201cIf the revenue target is not met while spending stays on track, the question is: where will the shortfall come from?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n

Need for caution<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

He explained that lower-than-expected revenue would leave the government with two options: borrow more or cut spending toward the end of the fiscal year. \u201cThe problem is, the end of the year is usually when government projects must be completed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Prof. Handoyo stressed the need for efficient and well-targeted government spending. Programs that directly support citizens\u2014such as energy subsidies and welfare initiatives\u2014should continue and undergo regular review. Such efforts, he said, are vital for sustaining household consumption, which drives about 60 percent of the national economy.<\/p>\n\n

Yet, he pointed out, the government has recently reduced transfers to regional administrations. As a result, some local governments have raised taxes, including property taxes (PBB) in Pati and Bone. \u201cHigher property taxes will only add more pressure on household purchasing power,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n\n

Policy priorities<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Prof. Handoyo urged the government to identify unproductive spending and redirect funds to more strategic needs. Personnel expenditures, he said, should focus on essential policies that benefit the public. \u201cThe government must reprioritize, including reviewing the MBG,\u201d he noted. <\/p>\n\n

He criticized the large MBG budget, arguing that reallocating part of it to healthcare would help BPJS users and boost public productivity.<\/p>\n\n

According to Prof. Handoyo, policies like MBG often serve as \u201clighthouse projects\u201d\u2014high-profile initiatives that are more symbolic than practical. He argued the government should reassess which sectors deserve priority, rather than focusing solely on campaign promises.<\/p>\n\n
