Court Budgeting focus on the issue of financing Indonesia’s judiciary. As indicated in the Blueprint Justice Reform 2010-2035,

budget that stretches from the MA headquarters into all of Indonesia’s
regions. The Supreme Court during budget discussions with Government
mentioned several times that there is issue of budget sufficiency and
distribution where some courts cannot operate in an effective manner due
to the lack of a precise preparation of the budget allocation. Based on
the conditions in accordance with the legislation in force, the
Mahkamah Agung should strengthen its budgetary management. Consequently,

independent management of performance-based budget allocated
proportionally in the State Budget is one of the important factors that
enable the realization of Indonesian Judicial Court of Excellence”.
