This study uses secondary data from local governments in Indonesia in 2018–2022 with a total sample of 2.320 observations, and is analyzed using a panel data regression model with the Random Effect Generalized Least Squares (GLS) regression approach. The results of the study indicate that social budget and regional wealth have a significant influence on the achievement of SDGs 1. Specifically, the panel regression result show that social budgets and Regional Government Expenditure (APBD) are significant at the 1% level with an Adjusted R2 of 0,147.
