JAKARTA, April 17, 2025. The Association of Regional Development Banks (Asbanda) has officially launched the Fund Disbursement Order (SP2D) in an online format through the Regional Government Information System (SIPD) on Thursday (17/4). The launch was marked by the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Asbanda and the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) of the Republic of Indonesia. Located at Hotel Bidakara Jakarta, the memorandum of understanding was signed by the Acting Chairman of Asbanda, Busrul Iman, and the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Tomsi Tohir.
In his speech, Busrul explained that the launching of SP2D Online through the SIPD-RI application is an important moment to demonstrate the real implementation of this feature in several regions and simultaneously strengthen the synergy between regional governments and Regional Development Banks (BPD) to support modern and integrated financial governance. "We hope that this launch can be an inspiration for all regional governments to immediately adopt SP2D Online as part of Indonesia's digital reform," he stated.
According to Busrul, SIPD has many functions, including facilitating all processes of planning, financial transactions, and reporting for all regional governments in Indonesia. This will certainly greatly assist regional governments in implementing SP2D online. "We hope that with the signing of this memorandum of understanding, it will further facilitate and accelerate the implementation of online SP2D across all regional governments in Indonesia. BPD, as a partner of the regional government, is committed to continuously supporting regional government work programs that require financial and banking services," Busrul emphasized.
On the same occasion, a cooperation agreement was also signed between the Ministry of Home Affairs and 24 Regional Development Banks (BPD) across Indonesia, including Bank Jatim, regarding the implementation of online SP2D through the SIPD application. Busrul Iman, who is also the President Director of Bank Jatim, signed the PKS (Cooperation Agreement) along with other BPD leaders. "This cooperation is an important step in supporting the digitalization of regional government financial governance, especially in the fund disbursement process which can now be done faster, more transparent, and more efficiently through the SIPD platform. This system facilitates coordination between the Ministry of Home Affairs and BPDs in managing regional government funds in real time," he noted.
As a regional bank that plays a central role in the economy of East Java, Bank Jatim is fully aware of the importance of adapting to technological developments to improve the quality of services to regional governments and the community. According to Busrul, the signing of this PKS is a form of Bank Jatim's commitment to be an active part of the digital transformation of regional finance.
"The implementation of SIPD is in line with the era of non-cash transactions and digitalization, so it must be optimized together. Furthermore, the implementation of regional financial digitalization has become an urgency in the current era. Because digitalization can support effective and efficient regional financial governance to encourage transparency and acceleration of transactions," Busrul explained. Therefore, he hopes that this cooperation can continue and bring a positive impact on the economic growth of both Indonesia and East Java.
Meanwhile, Tomsi Tohir also affirmed that the Ministry of Home Affairs has a strategic role in fostering and supervising the administration of regional government. Therefore, principles of openness, accountability, participation, law enforcement, and responsiveness to community needs are required. Regional governments, he continued, are obliged to provide the necessary information in SIPD RI. "The goal of implementing SIPD is to make it easier to make decisions and facilitate monitoring, evaluation, and consolidation of financial data statistics online and in real-time," he clarified.
To date, there are 22 provinces, 28 regencies, and 16 cities ready to run SP2D Online through SIPD RI. "Thus, the principle of transparency will be realized in the not too distant future," he concluded.
