This research try to examine how investment choices in property and real estate sector businesses listed on IDX (2020-2024) are impacted by the cost of debt and equity.For the accuracy of the analysis, this study also uses firm size and profitability as controler. Purposive sampling was used in the sampling process, which produced seven qualifying organizations with a total of 35 observations over a five-year period. Panel data regression was used for data analysis, and the Common Effect Model was shown to be the best estimation model. The findings show that investment decisions are significantly influenced by firm size, profitability, cost of debt, and cost of equity all at the same time. Nonetheless, investment choices are not much impacted by the cost of debt. Similarly, it has been demonstrated that the cost of equity has no appreciable effect on the capital expenditures of the businesses. Firm size has a favorable and substantial impact, making it the main motivator for investment activity in the real estate industry. During the study period, investment decisions were not significantly impacted by profitability. These results show that, especially in the post-pandemic economic recovery era, asset capacity and economies of scale are more important for the viability of real investment projects for property firms on the IDX than yearly variations in capital costs.

This study aims to measure the financial performance of the Government of West Java Province during the 2020–2024 period based on the analysis of the audited Budget Realization Reports. The research uses a descriptive quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from the Regional Financial Statements. Financial performance is measured through several ratios, namely the effectiveness ratio of Regional Original Revenue, regional financial efficiency ratio, regional financial independence ratio, and expenditure harmony ratio. The results show that the effectiveness of Regional Original Revenue fluctuated, with effective performance only in 2022 and 2024, while in other years it was categorized as ineffective. The efficiency ratio also indicated inconsistency, where inefficiency occurred in 2020, 2021, and 2023, and efficiency was achieved in 2022 and 2024. The regional financial independence ratio showed a relatively high level, reflecting low dependence on central government transfers, although there was a slight decline in 2023–2024. The expenditure harmony ratio indicated that budget allocation was still dominated by operational expenditure compared to capital expenditure. The findings imply the need for improving revenue optimization and more balanced expenditure allocation to support sustainable regional development.

Regional government financial performance is a strategic indicator for assessing the success of regional autonomy implementation, particularly in managing public finances in an effective, efficient, transparent, and accountable manner. This study aims to analyze the financial performance of the Government of West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB) during the 2018–2022 period using a regional financial ratio analysis approach. The research employs a descriptive quantitative method utilizing secondary data obtained from the Budget Realization Reports (LRA) and the Regional Government Financial Statements (LKPD) that have been audited by the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK). The analysis is conducted by calculating regional financial ratios, including the financial independence ratio, the effectiveness ratio of Regional Original Revenue (PAD), the efficiency ratio of regional finances, the activity ratio (expenditure harmony), and the revenue growth ratio. The results indicate that the financial performance of the Government of West Nusa Tenggara Province has generally improved. The regional financial independence ratio falls within the participatory category with an average value of 57.81%, reflecting a gradual reduction in dependence on central government transfer revenues, particularly in 2022. The effectiveness ratio of PAD is categorized as moderately effective, with an average of 92.84%, although it fluctuates due to increases in revenue targets that were not fully matched by actual revenue realization. The regional financial efficiency ratio consistently remains in the efficient category, indicating the local government’s ability to control expenditures relative to revenues. Furthermore, the activity ratio analysis shows a shift in expenditure composition from operating expenditure toward capital expenditure, indicating an increased orientation toward development and long-term investment. The growth ratio reveals a significant increase in PAD in 2022, accompanied by a decline in transfer revenue growth.

This study examines the impact of capital expenditure, balancing funds, and local revenue on economic growth in the former Besuki Residency area, covering Banyuwangi, Jember, Situbondo, and Bondowoso Regencies during the 2014-2024 period. Using path analysis on panel data and individual district analysis, the study investigates the direct, indirect, and mediating effects of local revenue as an intervening variable. The results show that all three independent variables significantly affect economic growth in the panel data for all four regencies. Capital expenditure has a significant direct effect only in Bondowoso Regency and overall panel data, but is insignificant in Banyuwangi, Jember, and Situbondo. Balancing funds exhibit a significant direct effect across all regions, while local revenue has a consistent direct effect in all regions and panel data. The mediating role of local revenue is inconsistent, with the indirect effect of capital expenditure through local revenue being insignificant in all regions. On the other hand, the indirect effect of balancing funds through local revenue is significant in Banyuwangi, nearly significant in Jember and Situbondo, and insignificant in Bondowoso. These findings highlight the complexity of fiscal dynamics in decentralization, where local revenue management and governance factors are crucial. The study supports previous research suggesting that central fiscal transfers are less effective without strong local revenue support. Local governments are encouraged to enhance local revenue autonomy to maximize the multiplier effect of capital expenditures and balancing funds, fostering sustainable economic growth.

The Community Service (PkM) activity aimed to enhance the capacity of civil society to conduct effective public oversight of the East Lombok Regency Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) for fiscal year 2025. The “Budget School” program, organized by the Pimpinan Daerah Pemuda Muhammadiyah in collaboration with the Indonesian Forum for Budget Transparency (FITRA) NTB and ITSKes Muhammadiyah Selong, provided participants with a comprehensive and critical analysis of the regional budget structure and allocation patterns. The key findings highlighted notable fiscal inefficiencies, particularly the disproportionately high allocation for Employee Spending (Belanja Pegawai), which indicates an urgent need for budget reallocation toward increasing Capital Expenditure (Belanja Modal). Such realignment is essential to accelerate infrastructure development, enhance public service delivery, and ensure broader socio-economic benefits for the community. The event, conducted on September 25, 2025, successfully improved fiscal literacy among youth and civil society actors by strengthening their understanding of fiscal governance and legal oversight mechanisms. Overall, the activity fostered collective awareness and encouraged active participation in promoting sustainable, transparent, and efficient regional financial management.

This research is motivated by several factors such as locally generated revenue, general allocation funds, special allocation funds, revenue-sharing funds, and capital expenditure. Some of the problems identified in this study include the realization of locally generated revenue that has never reached the budget target over four consecutive years, a percentage decrease in locally generated revenue while capital expenditure remains constant, and the absence of certain special allocation funds, which may affect capital expenditure. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of locally generated revenue, general allocation funds, special allocation funds, and revenue-sharing funds on capital expenditure. This research employs a descriptive quantitative method using data samples obtained from the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency of Aceh Province in the form of Budget Realization Reports for the period 2019–2022. The data analysis technique used is linear regression. The results show that, based on the simultaneous test (F-test), locally generated revenue, general allocation funds, special allocation funds, and revenue-sharing funds have a positive and significant effect on capital expenditure. Meanwhile, based on the partial test (t-test), each of these variables—locally generated revenue, general allocation funds, special allocation funds, and revenue-sharing funds—also has a positive and significant effect on capital expenditure.

The economy of West Sumatra Province has shown a significant decline in recent years, with the lowest growth rate on the entire island of Sumatra. This study aims to examine the influence of capital expenditure, unemployment, and the Human Development Index on economic growth in this region between 2014 and 2024. Using multiple linear regression and data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance, the analysis shows that capital expenditure and unemployment have a significant negative impact on economic growth, while the Human Development Index (HDI) has no significant impact. Although capital expenditure varies, the decline in unemployment indicates a change in labor market conditions. This information indicates that government efforts to increase spending on infrastructure and public services are still ineffective in driving growth. Therefore, it is recommended that the government prioritize budget allocations in productive sectors such as infrastructure, tourism, and MSME development to help small businesses grow and advance through training, capital support, and technology implementation to ensure competitiveness and sustainability. Therefore, this study is expected to provide deeper insight into the elements that influence economic growth in West Sumatra and serve as a guide for further, more comprehensive research.  

This study investigates the determinants of cash holdings in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2018–2022. Cash holdings play a crucial role in ensuring company liquidity and financial flexibility, especially in industries that require large investments such as the energy sector. The study employs secondary data obtained from annual financial reports of the sampled companies, accessed through official company websites and the IDX portal. A quantitative research approach is used with multiple linear regression analysis to test the effect of several independent variables on cash holdings. The variables examined include firm size, leverage, growth opportunity, profitability, net working capital, capital expenditure, and cash flow. The findings reveal that firm size and leverage both have a negative and significant effect on cash holdings, indicating that larger firms and those with higher debt levels tend to maintain lower levels of cash. Net working capital and capital expenditure are also found to negatively affect cash holdings, suggesting that higher investments in working capital and assets reduce the need for holding large cash reserves. Conversely, cash flow demonstrates a positive effect, highlighting that firms with stronger cash inflows are likely to hold more cash. Growth opportunity and profitability show no significant effect on cash holdings.

This study analyses the influence of fiscal capacity on capital expenditure in Aceh Province over the period 2007-2023 by collecting data from the BPS website of Aceh Province. Using multiple linear regression method, this study found that Local Own Revenue (PAD), Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH), and Special Allocation Fund (DAK) have a positive and significant influence on capital expenditure. The results of the analysis show that every 1 unit increase in PAD, DBH, and DAK respectively increases capital expenditure by 234.0927 units, 57.51575 units, and 25.09292 units. This finding indicates that stronger fiscal capacity allows local governments to allocate more budget for infrastructure and investment projects, which support economic development and community welfare. Increased personnel expenditure was also found to have a significant positive impact on capital expenditure, indicating the importance of investment in human resources to support the efficiency and effectiveness of managing development projects. These results support the Human Capital and Administrative Efficiency theories, which assert that competent and efficient human resources increase productivity in budget management

Corruption in the public sector remains a major obstacle to regional development, threatening the effectiveness of financial management and public services. Gaps in financial supervision and management that are not transparent are the cause of fraud in the use of the budget. The agency theory states that corruption is caused by a conflict of interest between the community as the principal and the government as an agent, with the external auditor as a supervisor to prevent irregularities.

This study uses quantitative methods and uses secondary data. The sample consistSed of 250 local governments (districts/cities/provinces) in Indonesia during 2020-2022. The analyst method uses SPSS 27 with multiple linear regression method. The test results showed that capital expenditure had no effect on corruption, local own revenue and audit findings had a positive effect on corruption, and audit opinions had nothing to do with corruption in local governments.
