According to Herman, the implementation of the 2023 APBD by the Sumedang Regional Government has proceeded smoothly, with the APBD aimed at serving as a tool for community welfare.

He added that guidance or feedback from the BPK is expected to improve the quality of future APBDs, building on lessons learned from the 2023 APBD.
“We will strive our utmost to optimize the APBD to be effective and efficient, ultimately leading to the welfare of the people,” he said.
