The main problem of the research is how APBD changes reflect development priorities and their implications for the regional economy.

The research findings indicate an increase in regional revenue of IDR 17.42 billion (2.30%), primarily from intergovernmental transfers which increased by IDR 19.17 billion (56.90%). Capital expenditure experienced a significant increase of IDR 3.36 billion (5.00%), particularly in road, network, and irrigation spending which increased by 86.52%. These findings indicate that the Bukittinggi City Government prioritizes infrastructure development as the main strategy to enhance connectivity and regional economic growth, consistent with regional development theory emphasizing the importance of capital investment in stimulating long-term economic growth.
