he government plans to increase the ceiling of its Housing Credit Program (KPP) to Rp 50 trillion (US$2.79 billion) in 2026 from the initial Rp 36 trillion target, citing strong uptake from both homebuyers and builders.
Public Housing and Settlements Minister Maruarar "Ara" Sirait said the increase was aimed at expanding access to the program for more people and developers.
“With disbursement already reaching around 54 percent, or Rp 19.2 trillion, the 2026 Housing Credit Program ceiling has been increased from Rp 36 trillion to Rp 50 trillion, so that the benefits can be felt more widely by the public and businesses,” Ara said in Jakarta on Monday.
As of June 20, 2026, KPP disbursement had reached Rp 19.24 trillion, equivalent to around 54 percent of the original target, with a total of 91,045 borrowers.
Of the total borrowers, 2,271 are businesses involved in building houses and 88,774 are homebuyers.
KPP is one of the government’s strategic programs launched on Oct. 21, 2025, to strengthen the national housing ecosystem from both the supply and demand sides.
On the supply side, the program supports businesses in the housing sector, including developers, contractors, building material producers, material stores and MSMEs involved in the housing supply chain.
