In the 2024 State Budget (APBN), the Indonesian government has allocated Rp139.1 trillion for defense spending or military expenditure.

This amount is approximately Rp5.6 trillion less, or a 3.9% decrease, compared to the projected 2023 budget realization.

Despite the decrease, defense spending at the end of President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) era remains considerably higher than during the presidency of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY).

During SBY's first term (2005-2009), military spending or national defense budget ranged from Rp9 trillion to Rp30 trillion per year.

Then, in SBY's second term (2010-2014), the budget increased to a range of Rp17 trillion to Rp87 trillion per year.

The amount further increased after President Jokowi took office.

In Jokowi's first term (2015-2019), military spending or national defense budget reached Rp98 trillion to Rp117 trillion per year.

Then, in Jokowi's second term (2020-2024), the figure rose to Rp125 trillion to Rp150 trillion per year, with details as shown in the graph.

Although defense spending during Jokowi's era is higher than during SBY's, its ratio to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has not changed significantly, remaining below 1%.

The ratio of defense spending or military expenditure to GDP during SBY's era ranged from 0.2% to 0.9% per year, while during Jokowi's era it ranged from 0.7% to 0.9% per year. Details are as follows:
