[00:01:08] However, Tito emphasized that not all of that value must be paid
[00:01:12] at once, priority is given to regions that have
[00:01:16] fiscal deficits but still have unpaid revenue sharing funds
[00:01:19] (DBH). Data regarding the priority regions
[00:01:23] according to Tito has been submitted to the Minister of Finance at the beginning of this
[00:01:27] week, the development of one of the priority
[00:01:30] national programs, yes, bumi, so there is about
[00:01:34] 70 trillion that is underpaid in total, not
[00:01:37] all of it has to be,
[00:01:41] but in certain regions that have fiscal
[00:01:44] deficits but have DBH that has not been paid
[00:01:48] by the central government, those are prioritized.

[00:03:23] Good morning viewers, the fiscal pressure experienced by many local
[00:03:27] governments is becoming increasingly concerning. This issue
[00:03:30] cannot be resolved by simply asking regions to continue to be efficient,
[00:03:34] but requires real intervention from the central government.
[00:03:37] This is the Media Indonesia editorial edition Thursday, August 6,
[00:03:40] 2026, with the theme of immediately overcoming regional fiscal
[00:03:44] pressure. With me, Valeri Budianto. You can also
[00:03:47] participate and interact through the interactive phone number
[00:03:51] 0215839100.
[00:03:54] This morning with me is a member of the Media Group Editorial Board, Jaka Budi
[00:03:58] Santosa. Mr. Jaka, good morning. Good morning, Ms. Valeri, how are you, Mr. Jaka?
[00:04:01] Alhamdulillah, I'm healthy. This morning, the editorial team asks the central government
[00:04:05] to immediately address regional fiscal pressure. How concerning
[00:04:09] is the fiscal condition of the regions at this time, Mr. Jaka? Yes, it is very, very
[00:04:12] worrying because it is not just one or two regions, but
[00:04:16] 490 regions, meaning more
[00:04:19] than or about 80%
[00:04:21] 88% of the total regions in
[00:04:25] Indonesia, both provinces, regencies, and cities.
[00:04:28] And the impact is very, very visible,
[00:04:32] it has started to feel massive, right, sir? Massive when the fiscal
[00:04:35] pressure is so heavy, the regions are crying out, they are having difficulty
[00:04:39] paying employees,
[00:04:42] difficulty in running minimum operations,
[00:04:45] and when employees are not paid or their payments are
[00:04:49] delayed, it will certainly affect their performance,
[00:04:52] when their performance is affected, then the people
[00:04:56] are affected, so we appeal, we emphasize
[00:04:59] that the central government immediately addresses this problem,
[00:05:02] because this problem has been going on for months,
[00:05:05] so it should not be delayed any longer, there must
[00:05:09] be a concrete solution so that the pressure on these regions
[00:05:12] can be overcome immediately. If we analogize the relationship
[00:05:15] between the central government and regions as that of parents and children, what
[00:05:19] is happening now is either educating or neglecting children, Mr. Jaka?
[00:05:23] If it has been going on for months, then
[00:05:26] this problem seems to be neglected,
[00:05:29] it is neglect and not part of an effort to discipline,
[00:05:33] there is an effort to discipline, that's fine,
[00:05:36] it is said for the sake
[00:05:39] of making regions not wasteful, to be efficient.
[00:05:43] But by cutting such a large amount of TKD, cutting
[00:05:46] such a large amount of DBH, I think the impact
[00:05:50] ultimately falls on the people, yes,
[00:05:53] the effort to discipline is good, but
[00:05:57] the effort not to disturb operational performance.
