The development of national connectivity infrastructure, specifically National Strategic Projects (PSN) toll roads, is currently facing severe pressure. The surge in construction material prices in both global and domestic markets has become a major factor significantly burdening project operational costs.
This situation is further complicated by the country's limited fiscal space. Reliance on the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN), which has now become more selective, makes funding for this basic infrastructure a major challenge for both the government and developers.
Construction industry observers warn that without proper adjustments to funding strategies or cost efficiencies, several toll road sections on the PSN priority list risk experiencing completion delays, or even abandonment. This economic uncertainty demands that the government immediately seek alternative financing schemes so that national connectivity targets remain preserved amidst tight budget dynamics.
