Mayor Lis Darmansyah outlines fiscal priorities for education, health, and infrastructure.

The City of Tanjungpinang has projected regional revenue of Rp1.01 trillion (S$80.8 million) for 2026, with allocations targeting key public services and national priority programs.

Revenue Projection and Fiscal Framework

On September 2, 2025, Tanjungpinang Mayor H. Lis Darmansyah presented the General Policy on Regional Budget (KUA) and the Provisional Budget Ceiling and Priorities (PPAS) for 2026 at a DPRD plenary meeting. The projected regional income is set at Rp1.01 trillion, equivalent to S$80.8 million. This includes Rp245.52 billion in local revenue (PAD), Rp753.65 billion in transfers, and Rp12.80 billion from other legitimate sources.

Alignment with National and Local Goals

Lis emphasized that the 2026 fiscal plan follows the Regional Government Work Plan (RKPD) and Ministry of Home Affairs Regulation No. 90/2019, ensuring alignment with both macroeconomic conditions and national fiscal strategies. The framework highlights income, expenditure, and financing policies, designed to strengthen synergy between local and central governments.

Spending Priorities for 2026

The city’s expenditure plan will focus on essential sectors such as:

Education: Improving facilities and access.
Health: Expanding services and infrastructure.
Infrastructure: Enhancing connectivity and urban development.
Minimum Service Standards: Ensuring compliance across essential services.

Lis underlined that these allocations also respond to mandatory government responsibilities, balancing local needs with national directives.

Supporting National Programs

The budget plan also incorporates President’s Eight Asta Cita priorities. These include strengthening Pancasila ideology, advancing food and energy security, creating jobs, industrialization, legal and bureaucratic reform, rural development, and environmental and cultural preservation. Tanjungpinang’s adoption of these national goals reflects its role in Indonesia’s broader development agenda.

Ensuring Transparency and Accountability

Lis expressed hope that discussions with DPRD will progress constructively and on schedule. He stressed the importance of a transparent and accountable RAPBD 2026, designed not only to meet fiscal obligations but also to respond effectively to community needs.

Broader Impact for the Region

With a budget projection closely tied to national priorities, Tanjungpinang’s fiscal direction underscores its strategic role in regional growth. For Indonesia, it reflects ongoing efforts to synchronize local and national policies. For Singaporeans observing cross-border economic ties, the Rp1.01 trillion (S$80.8 million) revenue plan signals continued infrastructure and service improvements in the nearby Riau Islands, potentially enhancing regional connectivity and collaboration.

Tanjungpinang’s 2026 budget projection highlights a careful balance between national priorities and local development. By prioritizing education, health, infrastructure, and governance reforms, the city aims to deliver tangible benefits while strengthening accountability and regional integration. This financial roadmap not only supports residents but also reinforces Tanjungpinang’s importance in Indonesia’s economic landscape.
