President Prabowo Subianto issued Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number 1 of 2025 on January 22, 2025. Through this Inpres, he targets budget efficiency of Ministries/Agencies (K/L) amounting to Rp256.1 trillion.

This efficiency effort has garnered public response. A Kompas Research and Development (Litbang Kompas) poll showed that 73.3% of respondents believe that government spending has not been efficient.

Meanwhile, 17.8% of respondents stated that government spending is already efficient, and 8.9% said they did not know.

Litbang Kompas also found several reasons respondents agreed with the policy of budget efficiency. A recorded 27.1% of respondents believe that budget savings can be focused on priority programs.

Other respondents felt this efficiency could reduce the burden on the State Budget (APBN) (27.1%), reduce leakage of public funds (24.4%), and reduce unproductive spending (22.5%).

This Litbang Kompas survey involved 529 respondents from 38 provinces, randomly selected from the Litbang Kompas panel, in proportion to the population of each province.

Data collection was conducted from February 10-13, 2025, through telephone interviews. The survey's margin of error is approximately 4.22% with a 95% confidence level, under conditions of simple random sampling.
