Abstract

This study explores the substantive impact of a scientific publication dissemination programme conducted at the Bureau of Planning and Finance of the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia (Perpusnas). The programme was conceived to reinforce governance coherence while advancing the intellectual and professional acumen of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) through systematic training in academic writing and scholarly publication. At its core, the initiative seeks to reconcile administrative practice with evidence-informed policymaking by equipping ASNs with the analytical, methodological, and ethical proficiencies required for peer-reviewed academic production. The programme is underpinned by a Hexahelix collaborative framework, encompassing academia, government, professional bodies, civil society, media, and industry, complemented by an emphasis on data literacy and rigorous scientific discipline. This integrative approach enables ASNs to engage more substantively in informed public deliberation, thereby contributing to enhanced transparency, accountability, and institutional legitimacy within public governance structures. The findings reveal a marked improvement in participants’ scholarly capability, with 92.85 per cent demonstrating sustained motivation to pursue further publication endeavours. Moreover, five ASNs succeeded in publishing articles in SINTA 4-accredited journals. In sum, the programme represents a strategic advancement in aligning civil service competencies with national development imperatives, while simultaneously cultivating a resilient culture of knowledge exchange, reflective practice, and continuous professional development across the public sector.

Abstract

The policy of increasing the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate from 10% to 11% since April 2022 serves as a strategic fiscal instrument for the government to strengthen state revenue, with VAT contributing 30–35% to total national tax revenue. However, the regressive nature of VAT potentially imposes a heavier economic burden on specific segments of society. Low-income households allocate more than 55% of their expenditure to basic needs (food, energy, and transportation). The VAT increase triggers commodity price hikes through a price pass-through mechanism ranging from 60–80%, thereby driving inflation within the administered prices component. This potentially exerts direct pressure on the purchasing power of the poor, reduces consumption volume, and ultimately risks weakening aggregate demand and national economic growth, given that household consumption accounts for over 50% of Indonesia's GDP. Although the government has distributed social assistance (Direct Cash Assistance/BLT, Family Hope Program/PKH, and subsidies) and implemented VAT exemptions on certain basic necessities, the effectiveness and adequacy of these compensatory measures remain a subject of debate. This study aims to provide comprehensive empirical evidence regarding the impact of the VAT rate hike on the purchasing power of low-income households and short-term inflation dynamics in Indonesia. The study employs a descriptive-analytical research approach, using secondary data such as the National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas), inflation data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), and a literature review of relevant prior empirical studies. The analysis indicates that the impact of the VAT increase on public welfare is contextual and heavily influenced by the consumption structure of society. This research is crucial for providing fiscal policy recommendations that are fairer, more responsive, and balanced between achieving state revenue targets (fiscal objectives) and protecting the socio-economic welfare of society (public welfare).
