Govt secures 10th consecutive clean audit for 2025 financial report

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa declared the execution of the 2025 State Budget a success, delivering resilient economic growth and securing a landmark tenth consecutive clean audit report, despite tough global trade challenges.

Speaking before the House of Representatives (DPR) Budget Committee in Jakarta, Tuesday (July 14), Purbaya emphasized that the implementation of the 2025 State Budget has run efficiently, effectively, and accountably to protect the domestic economy from intense international headwinds."The State Budget continues to serve as an adaptive and reliable instrument for maintaining national economic resilience. The government is optimally utilizing the Budget as a shock absorber to protect the public from global economic turmoil," Purbaya remarked.

The Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) awarded the 2025 Central Government Financial Report (LKPP) an Unqualified Opinion (WTP)—the highest standard of financial accountability.

This achievement marks the 10th consecutive year the Indonesian government has secured a clean audit opinion since the 2016 financial year. According to Purbaya, this milestone reflects the government's ongoing commitment to maintaining transparency, prudence, and strict accountability in managing state finances.

The minister noted that 2025 was a highly challenging period for international development.

He pointed out that rising geopolitical tensions and increasing trade fragmentation altered global economic patterns, disrupting supply chains and driving up financial market volatility.

Indonesia's economic growth in 2025 reached 5.11 percent, showcasing strong economic fundamentals. This expansion was anchored by stable household consumption at 4.98 percent and steady investment growth of 5.09 percent.

In line with solid growth, the government successfully maintained price stability, keeping year-on-year inflation at 2.92 percent at the end of 2025. This managed inflation rate preserved public purchasing power and optimized the reach of targeted social protection programs.

To further stimulate the real economy, the government deployed gradual quarterly stimulus packages throughout 2025 totaling Rp110.7 trillion (approximately US$6.92 billion).

"This stimulus is aimed at maintaining purchasing power, encouraging domestic consumption, and strengthening the real sector through support for MSMEs, labor-intensive sectors, housing, internship programs, holiday ticket discounts, and empowering the younger generation," Purbaya explained.

Purbaya credited the close collaboration and oversight of the DPR for enabling a highly responsive, expansionary fiscal policy.
