Indonesia has the second-largest military expenditure in Southeast Asia (ASEAN) after Singapore. According to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Indonesia's military spending reached US$7.44 billion, equivalent to 0.7% of its GDP and 4.3% of government expenditure. Singapore's military spending, meanwhile, reached US$10.84 billion.

With a land area of 1.9 million square kilometers, Indonesia requires a substantial budget to maintain its sovereignty and national security. Besides building a strong military personnel, military spending is also necessary for the improvement and modernization of the national defense fleet.

In the 2019 State Budget, the government allocated Rp 108.4 trillion to the Ministry of Defense. This is the second-largest allocation after the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (KemenPUPR) budget, which reached Rp 110.7 trillion. This indicates that the defense sector remains a focus of the Joko Widodo and Jusuf Kalla administration.
