A. Introduction
The Second and Fourth Paragraphs of the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution
of the Republic of Indonesia (UUD 1945) mandate that one of the goals of the state
is to realize prosperity and general welfare for the people of Indonesia. The 1945
Constitution also grants authority to regional governments to regulate and manage
their own government affairs according to the principles of autonomy and assistance
tasks to accelerate the realization of community welfare through improving services,
empowerment and community participation. The granting of authority to regional
governments is also accompanied by the transfer and assignment of financing. The
most important source of financing is local revenue (PAD).
PAD is regional income sourced from regional taxes, regional levies, results
94
from the management of separated regional assets, and other legitimate regional
original income, which aims to provide regions with the freedom to raise funds in
implementing regional autonomy as a manifestation of the principle of
decentralization.1
The regional government has the function and responsibility to improve
people's welfare by implementing development in all fields. The source of PAD is a
source of regional finance that is excavated in the relevant region, which can come
from regional taxes and regional levies. So that PAD can become part of the largest
source of finance for the implementation of regional autonomy.2
Establishment of BUMD in order to support regional development and
improve community welfare in the region. Purwadi said that the establishment of
BUMD has a role in realizing regional prosperity by contributing to PAD revenues
either in the form of dividends or taxes. One of the challenges of increasing PAD can
be answered by increasing the role/contribution of BUMD. In macro terms, the role
of regional companies (BUMD) in the regional economy can be measured through
their added value contribution to gross regional domestic income and their ability to
absorb labor.

C. Analysis And Discussion
Historically, BUMD is known as a regional company. In Indonesia, it began
to exist during the Dutch East Indies (Nederlandsch-Indie) with the emergence of
Provinciale-bedrijven, Gemeetebedrijven which were regulated according to the
provisions of Indische Compabiliteit (ICW) and Indische Bedrijvenwet (IBW).
Related to the historical factors of the establishment of regional companies before the
enactment of Law Number 5 of 1962 concerning Regional Companies is the existence
of Law Number 19 of 1960 concerning State-Owned Enterprises. Law Number 19 of
1960 is the nationalization of companies left over from the Dutch colonial era in
accordance with the provisions of nationalization in Law Number 86 of 1958. The
meaning contained in these provisions is the transfer or handover of business entities
from the central government to the regional government. Following up on this, Law
Number 5 of 1962 concerning Regional Companies was issued as the beginning of
the establishment of government-owned business entities.
The term BUMD was inspired by the issuance of Government Regulation
Number 12 of 1998 concerning Limited Liability Companies and Government
Regulation Number 13 of 1998 concerning Public Companies. However, the
definition of BUMD has not been standardized by statutory regulations. This is
different from BUMN, whose definition has been stipulated in Law Number 19 of
2003 concerning BUMN. On the other hand, the term BUMD has been stated in the
Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 3 of 1999 concerning the Legal
Form of BUMD, Law Number 22 of 1999 which was replaced by Law Number 32 of
2004, and then replaced again by Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional
Government (hereinafter abbreviated as UUPD).
Legally based on the provisions of Article 1 number 40 UUPD in conjunction
96
with Article 1 number 1 of Government Regulation Number 54 of 2017 concerning
Regionally-Owned Enterprises (PPBUMD) which is the implementing regulation of
UUPD, it is emphasized that BUMD is a business entity whose capital is wholly or
mostly owned by the region. The BUMD established by the regional government
consists of regional public companies and regional limited liability companies. The
position of a regional public company as a legal entity is obtained when the Regional
Regulation governing the establishment of regional public companies comes into
effect. Meanwhile, the position of a regional limited liability company as a leg (...truncated)
