Law Number 62 of 2024: The 2025 National Budget and Its Impact on Villages

The fundamental basis for the enactment of Law Number 62 of 2024 concerning the 2025 National Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) is that the state budget represents the management of national finances executed transparently and accountably to ensure the maximum prosperity of the people.

Furthermore, the 2025 APBN is structured according to the needs of state administration and the capacity to collect state revenue. This supports the realization of a national economy based on economic democracy, following principles of togetherness, efficiency, justice, sustainability, environmental awareness, independence, and maintaining the balance of national economic progress and unity.

Key Summary of Law No. 62/2024 for Village Administration

Below are the essential highlights of the 2025 Fiscal Year Budget specifically relevant to rural development and village governance:

  1. Village Fund Allocation: For the 2025 Fiscal Year, the total Village Fund (Dana Desa) is set at Rp71 trillion. This fund is designated to support village governance, community empowerment, and social development. Utilization is prioritized for extreme poverty eradication, climate change adaptation, health promotion (stunting reduction), food security, village digitalization, and labor-intensive programs (Padat Karya Tunai) using local raw materials.
  2. Distribution Mechanism: The Village Fund is distributed through a formula involving basic allocation, affirmation, performance, and formula-based components. Affirmation funds are targeted at disadvantaged and extremely disadvantaged villages, while performance funds reward villages with the best administrative achievements. Additionally, there is a Rp2 trillion incentive fund to encourage the implementation of central government policies at the village level.
  3. Fiscal Incentive Funds and Other Regional Allocations: Beyond the direct Village Fund, the budget includes Fiscal Incentive Funds awarded to local governments for high performance. These funds support national strategic goals, such as local financial management and public service improvements.
  4. Rural Development Priorities: The budget focuses on strategic sectors, including village infrastructure development, utilization of digital technology, food resilience, and improving the quality of life through basic public service facilities.
