We emphasize that quality of budget forecasting is important.

To remedy this errors, DPRD need for increasing fiscal desentralization supervision, during the budget planning, formulation and implementation. In addition, DPRD also need to pay more attention to uncertainty and incumbency factor during budget forecasting.
