year. The increase from 2015 to 2017 was 27,4%. That's almost the same as government
spending in the health sector where the increase is also fixed. In the health sector, the
increase government spending from 2015 to 2017 is 8.3%.

Government spending in the infrastructure sector has seen a very high increase
from 2015 to 2017 amounting to 123.4%, almost double the previous one. Meanwhile,
energy subsidy spending are reduced starting in 2014 so that there is a decrease in

Meanwhile, the reduction in energy subsidies aims to make people not dependent on
government subsidies and the government can allocate spending to other sectors.
