The Impact of Fiscal Policy on Regional Economic Resilience Post-Pandemic in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of fiscal policy on regional economic resilience after the pandemic in Indonesia. With a descriptive quantitative approach, this study uses secondary data from the Ministry of Finance, the Central Statistics Agency, and international publications. The results show that fiscal policies, such as government spending in the health and social protection sectors, as well as tax incentives, are effective in maintaining people's purchasing power and supporting the sustainability of small and medium enterprises. There are differences in the impact of fiscal policies between urban and rural areas, which shows the importance of policy adjustments based on regional characteristics. In addition, this study also identifies challenges in the implementation of fiscal policy in remote areas that have limited infrastructure. Overall, the fiscal policies implemented not only have a positive impact on short-term economic recovery but also strengthen the region's economic resilience to face future challenges. This study shows that fiscal policy has a significant impact on regional economic resilience post-pandemic in Indonesia. Its contribution helps strengthen economic stability and recovery in affected areas.
