INFOKU, BLORA – Regional cash will increase becausethe Fiscal Incentive Fund (DIF) disbursed by the central government to Regency Government is estimated to increase by around IDR 4 billion this year.
However, the allocation of the budget is still awaiting certainty.
Head of the Blora Regional Development Planning Research and Innovation Agency (Bapperida) Mahbub Junaidi revealed that the 2025 fiscal incentive fund budget that the Blora Regency Government will receive has increased.
If we look at the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance (DJPK) of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu), the Blora Regency Government received IDR 15.8 billion.

" There is no official letter yet. So there is no DIF allocation yet," he said.
Mahbub explained that the funds came from the state revenue and expenditure budget (APBN).
The grant is based on an assessment of four categories. In 2024, the Blora Regency Government received a budget of Rp 11 billion from two categories that had met the assessment elements.
" In 2024, the categories that will receive DIF from the APBN are the elimination of extreme poverty and the performance category for accelerating regional spending," said Mahbub.
Meanwhile, there are two categories that did not receive DIF allocation last year.
Namely, the category of stunting reduction and the category of performance in the use of domestic products.
" The 2024 DIF fund allocation is allocated for inflation control, procurement of PJU (street lighting) and others," he continued.
Fiscal incentive funds are provided by the central government to regional governments based on certain performance.
So the use of DIF cannot be free. It is only allowed for public service infrastructure support, economic development, health services, and education services. (Endah/ IST )
