The Bangka Belitung Islands Province achieved the highest regional revenue realization in Indonesia as of December 9, 2021. The Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) reported that the province's revenue realization reached 97.1% of the 2021 Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD).

Yogyakarta occupies second place with 96.03% of its regional revenue budget realized. West Java follows with a regional revenue realization of 95.31%.

Nevertheless, the Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri), Tito Karnavian, urged Regional Governments (Pemda) to continue to boost the realization of their revenue and expenditure in the remaining period of 2021.

Meanwhile, the province with the lowest revenue realization achievement was Papua, which only reached 73.78%. Above it is South Sumatra, with regional revenue realization reaching only 74.67%.
