| Ministry of Agrarian Affairs/BPN Commits to Improving Land Services with Accurate and Accountable Budget Use in 2026. |
Jakarta – Wednesday, July 9, 2025, The Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) is taking a firm stance to improve the quality of land services nationwide. During a working meeting with Commission II of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), Minister Nusron Wahid emphasized that the 2026 state budget allocation will be fully used to enhance the reliability, transparency, and accountability of land-related services.
2026 Budget Set at IDR 7.78 Trillion: Prioritizing Public-Oriented Services
Based on a joint circular from the Minister of National Development Planning (Bappenas) and the Minister of Finance, ATR/BPN’s indicative budget for 2026 is set at IDR 7.78 trillion. This budget will be allocated for:
-
Strengthening internal management systems
-
Improving public land service delivery
-
Advancing spatial planning programs
Minister Nusron stated, “We will manage this budget with full responsibility. Our goal is to deliver more accurate, prudent, and accountable services, all grounded in risk-based management approaches.”
Proposed Additional IDR 3.63 Trillion to Accelerate Land Registration and Staffing
To further support its strategic goals, the ministry has proposed an additional IDR 3.63 trillion in funding. This proposed increase aims to support three core priorities:
-
The Complete Systematic Land Registration Program (PTSL) – ensuring wider access to certified land ownership for the public.
-
Improved spatial planning – aligning with sustainable development and regional planning needs.
-
Recruitment of new government employees – including both civil servants (CPNS) and government contract staff (PPPK).
“We’re asking for support so these programs can succeed, especially to scale up PTSL so more people can benefit,” said Minister Nusron during the meeting.
Parliament Support: Minister Praised for Progressive Leadership
Deputy Chair of Commission II, Dede Yusuf, voiced strong support for the budget increase, praising Minister Nusron for his proactive and results-oriented leadership.
“I fully support the additional IDR 3.63 trillion. The minister is clearly progressive and committed. Without proper support, his team can’t move forward effectively. We must focus on programs that bring real impact to the public,” said Dede Yusuf.
2024 Budget Absorption Hits 99.04 Percent: Proof of Strong Fiscal Management
In 2024, ATR/BPN achieved a remarkable 99.04 percent budget absorption rate, highlighting the ministry’s efficient use of public funds and its commitment to high-performance execution.
Toward a More Accessible and Trustworthy Land Service System
With adequate financial backing and proper oversight, the Ministry of ATR/BPN is working toward delivering faster, more transparent, and community-centered land services. Digital transformation, the expansion of the PTSL program, and human resource development are central to this improvement.
Ultimately, this transformation will allow more Indonesians to secure legal land ownership, simplify land-related procedures, and benefit from better spatial planning and land governance.
