Manggarai Raya, Ngada log Rp2.51 trillion in APBN spending to July 2026

Labuan Bajo — Realization of Indonesia’s 2026 state budget in Manggarai Raya and Ngada reached Rp2.51 trillion as of 31 July 2026, equivalent to 58.80% of the available ceiling, according to the July 2026 performance release from the Ruteng State Treasury Service Office (KPPN Ruteng) under the Ministry of Finance’s Directorate General of Treasury.

The office reported that the total comprised Rp462.67 billion in central government expenditure and Rp2.04 trillion in transfers to the regions and village funds, with realization rates of 53.52% and 60.14% respectively according to the July release.

The July figures refer to cumulative budget absorption from the start of the year through 31 July, combining central government spending with transfers to the regions and village funds in Manggarai, West Manggarai, East Manggarai and Ngada.

Transfers dominate realized spending

The July release states that transfers to regions and village funds formed the larger share of realized state spending in Manggarai Raya and Ngada, compared with central government expenditure, with TKDD and village-fund disbursement reaching Rp2.04 trillion or 60.14% of the ceiling.

A separate news report citing KPPN Ruteng’s data also notes that realization of state budget transfers and village funds in the four districts reached Rp2.04 trillion, while central government spending reached Rp462.67 billion, confirming that TKDD and village funds made up the majority of realized APBN spending in the area up to 31 July 2026.

KPPN Ruteng’s July release further indicates that the performance of transfers to regions and village funds was lower in nominal terms than in the same period a year earlier, with a decline of Rp160.52 billion, and attributes Rp131.35 billion of that drop to reduced village-fund disbursement in line with a Rp343.32 billion cut in the 2026 village-fund allocation.

Absorption rate improves despite lower nominal spending

The July 2026 release highlights that overall budget absorption in Manggarai Raya and Ngada improved in percentage terms compared with the same period in the previous year, even though the nominal realization fell.

KPPN Ruteng reports that the 58.80% realization rate was 10.91 percentage points higher than a year earlier, while the nominal amount realized decreased by Rp43.96 billion, a change the office links to lower overall allocations, particularly for village funds.

Local media coverage of the same release likewise reports that realization of the state budget in Manggarai Raya and Ngada reached Rp2.51 trillion or 58.80% of the ceiling as of 31 July 2026, and that the absorption rate rose year-on-year despite a small decline in nominal realized spending.

Composition of central government spending

In addition to headline realization figures, the July performance release from KPPN Ruteng outlines changes in the composition of central government spending in Manggarai Raya and Ngada compared with the same period of the previous year.

The office reports higher capital expenditure, reaching Rp42.20 billion more than a year earlier, and an increase in personnel spending of Rp29.39 billion, while goods spending fell by Rp27.63 billion, equivalent to a 15.71% decline.

These shifts indicate that capital and personnel spending grew in nominal terms while goods expenditure contracted, but the release does not provide full details of each category’s approved budget or realization at district level, and does not break down TKDD into separate figures for transfers and village funds for each of the four districts.

Regional, not district-level, picture

The July 2026 APBN performance release from KPPN Ruteng presents a consolidated view for Manggarai, West Manggarai, East Manggarai and Ngada as one regional cluster.

While it confirms total realized spending, absorption rates and changes in broad expenditure categories, it does not include separate realization rates, ceilings or remaining budgets for each district, nor the detailed sectoral breakdown of spending at district level.

Further district-by-district analysis of budget realization in Manggarai Raya and Ngada would require access to more granular tables from KPPN Ruteng or budget realization reports issued by the respective local governments.
