<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the effect of local own-source revenue, balance funds, and economic growth on the financial performance of local governments. This research employs a quantitative approach. The sample was selected using a total sampling technique, consisting of 190 local government observations in West Sumatra Province during the 2014–2023 period. Data were analyzed using panel data analysis with EViews 12.
