Red‑White Cooperatives Needed for 2025 Village Funds

The Indonesian government issued Treasury Regulation (PMK) No. 81/2025, amending PMK No. 108/2024.

Village funds will be released in two stages: 60 % in Stage I no later than June and the remaining 40 % in Stage II as early as April. Stage I requires the village budget (APBDes), a letter of authority for fund transfer, and a village‑head decision on beneficiaries of basic livelihood assistance (BLT) if allocated. Stage II demands a report on the previous year’s absorption, proof that at least 60 % of funds and 40 % of output targets were met, the deed of a red‑white cooperative or notarized filing, and a commitment letter supporting the village budget.

The requirements aim to improve fund governance and stimulate cooperative‑driven rural economies. Villages that have not yet formed a red‑white cooperative must do so and submit the required documents to avoid losing their allocation. Local authorities (regents or mayors) will monitor compliance.
