The figure represents growth in the amount the government aims to collect, rather than a direct increase in personal inco

The Indonesian government and the House of Representatives’ Commission XI agreed to use an average exchange-rate assumption of IDR 17,500 per U.S. dollar in the 2027 Draft State Budget, or RAPBN 2027.
