Spending for Development in Papua:
Key Messages
Main message
Papuas key challenge is not to generate additional resources but to use the existing
resources wisely.
Poverty and the economy
Papua and West Papua (or Papua Barat) are provinces of extremes, with high poverty,
relatively high GDP, the lowest population density and the highest fiscal resources in
Indonesia.
Since 2002, poverty declined from 46 percent to 37 percent. However, Papua and West
Papua remain Indonesias poorest regions.
The district of Teluk Bintuni, where the new Tangguh plan is located, is lagging in most social
and economic indicators, with the exception of regional GDP and child immunization.
Revenues, expenditures and fiscal projections
Since 2000, Papuas revenues have increased fivefold (in real terms). Since 2002, when
special autonomy started, revenues have increased 2.5 times (in real terms).
Spending on government administration has traditionally dominated Papuas expenditures.
However, since 2006, infrastructure spending has increased substantially and overtaken
government administration.
After modest increases in the next 5 years, Papuas overall revenues are expected to double
by 2020 but only partly due to revenues from Tangguh LNG. However, the province of Papua
Barat will substantially increase its revenues due to Tangguh.

However, for Papua Barat the increase will be significant
because it would incur all of Tangguhs shared revenue:
By 2018, at US$40 per barrel, revenues would increase by almost 30% compared
to the baseline; at US$80 per barrel, revenues would increase by more than 50%
