2025-12-03T17:42:49+00:00

The Public Service Agency policy began to be implemented in Indonesia across hospitals, educational institutions, and airports following the enactment of Law No. 17/2003 on State Finance and Law No. 1/2004 on State Treasury. However, research examining BLU policy within the airport sector remains limited, with existing studies predominantly focusing on hospitals and educational institutions. This study aims to analyze the implementation process of the Public Service Agency policy at ten regional airports in Indonesia over the period 2016–2024 by examining the policy formulation, its application in airport operations, and airport performance using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Tobit regression approaches. Based on the efficiency analysis using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach, the Public Service Agency policy tends to be implemented at regional airports that are already efficient, although there is a tendency for airport performance to decline after the policy’s is implemented. According to the results of the Tobit Regression analysis, variables that significantly influence the efficiency scores of airports include the distance of the airport from the city center and regional GDP per capita. These findings provide an evaluative tool for assessing the performance of regional airports in Indonesia in implementing the BLU policy

This study aims to examine the development of human resource capacity of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Central Maluku Regency through a financial literacy approach as a strategy to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method, with a stratified random sampling technique.This study maps the financial literacy status of MSMEs and analyzes its relationship to improving management capacity and business sustainability to support the achievement of the SDGs. The results show that low levels of financial literacy in human resources are a major obstacle to efficient business management and delay the achievement of national sustainable development goals. Therefore, strengthening human resource capacity based on financial literacy is essential as a strategic intervention that not only increases the competitiveness of MSMEs but also directly contributes to the achievement of SDGs indicators, particularly in the areas of financial inclusion, poverty reduction, and sustainable local economic growth

These findings confirm that the contribution of domestic assets to economic growth is relatively limited, which is in line with the literature that emphasizes the more dominant role of foreign direct investment, household consumption, and fiscal and monetary policies in influencing the Indonesian economy. Second, the causality test on foreign assets also shows similar results, namely that economic growth has not been proven to affect changes in foreign assets, and vice versa. Based on the findings of this study, the recommendation for the government is to implement economic development policies that are more focused on strengthening the domestic foundation, particularly by encouraging productive investment, increasing the competitiveness of the real sector, and strengthening household consumption, which has been proven to be more significant in driving economic growth
