The budget capacity assessment attempts to examine the capacity of municipal governments in Indonesia to effectively administer the APBD. The assessment of budget capacity resilience employ a descriptive quantitative methodology involving measures such as budget solvency, financial independence, and service-level solvency. The assessment results indicate that the municipalities of Mataram, Tidore, Batam, and Sabang achieved the greatest budget capacity index. The government with the highest ranking possesses the capacity to effectively manage unprecedented crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, the municipalities of Bengkulu, Bontang, and Tegal have the lowest budget capacity index.
