This study aims to determine the failure of special autonomy funds to decrease poverty in Aceh. Methodology: This research used descriptive qualitative methods by conducting the primary data through interviews, also secondary data through books, journals, newspapers, and other related sources. The analysis data is doing by using Transactional Political Theory. Main Findings: The results of this study indicate that asymmetric decentralization can be seen from the weak Regional Economic Growth Rate and the slow improvement of the Quality of Human Development Index (HDI). Thus the failure was caused by two things, namely: the thick Political Content of The Local Political Elite and the Domination of Local Political Elite in the Management of Aceh's Special Autonomy Fund in the Compilation of Planning and Work Programs. The absence of control in the management of special autonomy funds is based on project performance without good planning, and the existence of interest-based planning in the management of special autonomy funds that based on populist activity programs following the wishes of politicians which have an impact on weak regional economic growth, slow index improvement of human development quality, high poverty rates, and high unemployment in Aceh. Applications of this study: The finding of this study offered the evaluation systems for the government of Aceh to strengthen better local government governance, especially in increasing budget planning and implementation efficiency and strengthening regulations, and implementing an e-planning system to select program activities from the Aceh special autonomy fund. Novelty/Originality of this study: Based on the literature review conducted, there were limited publications which are focusing on the failure of autonomy funds in Aceh. Therefore this research will enrich the publication that concerns the failure of managing special autonomy funds in Aceh.

Abstrak: Qanun merupakan pengganti dari istilah peraturan daerah yang dikhususkan untuk Provinsi Aceh sebagai salah satu bentuk otonomi khusus. Di dalam hierarki peraturan perundang-undangan, Qanun merupakan salah satu peraturan perundang-undangan yang tata urutannya di bawah Undang-Undang. Oleh karena qanun merupakan peraturan perundang-undangan sejenis perda, maka pemerintah memiliki kewenangan untuk membatalkannya jika qanun tersebut bertentangan dengan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan yang lebih tinggi. Pada pertengahan tahun 2016, Kementerian Dalam Negeri (Kemendagri) Republik Indonesia telah membatalkan 3.143 Perda karena dianggap menghambat pertumbuhan ekonomi daerah dan memperpanjang jalur birokrasi. Selain itu, peraturan tersebut juga dianggap menghambat proses perizinan dan investasi serta menghambat kemudahan berusaha. Dari jumlah tersebut terdapat 65 qanun Aceh yang ikut dibatalkan, yang terdiri dari 6 Qanun Provinsi dan 59 Qanun Kabupaten/Kota. Mengenai kewenangan siapa yang sebenarnya berwenang menguji Perda/Qanun tidak ada sebuah kesepakatan pendapat diantara para pakar. Abstract: Qanun is a substitute for the term regional regulation that is specific to Aceh Province as a form of special autonomy. In the hierarchy of statutory regulations, Qanun is one of the statutory regulations whose ordering is under the Law. Because the qanun is a kind of legislation, the government has the authority to cancel it if the qanun is contrary to the provisions of the higher statutory regulations. In mid-2016, the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) of the Republic of Indonesia canceled 3,143 regional regulations because they were considered to hamper regional economic growth and extend the bureaucratic path. In addition, the regulation is also seen as hampering the licensing and investment processes and hampering the ease of doing business. Of these, there were 65 Aceh qanuns that were canceled, consisting of 6 Provincial Qanun and 59 District / City Qanun. Regarding the authority of who actually has the authority to examine the Perda / Qanun there is no agreement of opinion among experts.

Policy of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia to grant special autonomy to the Provincial Government of Nangroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) through the concept of asymmetric decentralization accompanied by the issuance of a law on the implementation of Islamic Sharia in a kaffah manner, opening opportunities for the government and the people of NAD Province to increase the pace of development economy based on faith and piety to Allah SWT. How the impact of the implementation of these policies on regional economic growth in the Province of NAD has not been widely studied. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the causal relationship between regional economic growth and its determinants and to analyze the moderating role of the intensity of the application of Islamic law on the causal relationship. The target population is districts/cities in NAD Province and the sample consists of 23 units of analysis (5 cities and 18 districts). Secondary data on a ratio scale to measure research variables, namely HDI, technology investment, population, regional development expenditure, intensity of the application of Islamic Sharia, and regional economic growth for the 2010 - 2019 period, sourced from the Central Statistics Agency and the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion of NAD Province. The data analysis technique used descriptive statistics and panel data regression analysis to test 10 research hypotheses. The results show that simultaneously capital, HDI, technology investment, population, and regional development expenditures have a very large influence on regional economic growth in NAD Province. Partially, capital, technology investment, population, and regional development expenditure are the determinants of regional economic growth in NAD Province. The four determinant variables have an effect on increasing regional economic growth. Regencies/cities that have large capital, moderate and innovative technology investment accompanied by a high population, and are supported by adequate regional development expenditures, have an impact on high economic growth in NAD Province. The intensity of the application of Islamic law moderates the causal relationship between capital, technology investment and population on regional economic growth, while the intensity of the application of Islamic law has not shown a significant role in moderating the causal relationship between the human development index and regional development expenditures on regional economic growth. This indicates that the intensity of the application of Islamic Sharia in the province of Aceh has given a significant role to all sectors in increasing regional economic growth. further research is suggested to use Economic Well Being Theory and include fiscal and regional retribution variables, education and ICT readiness index and electronic-based service system index.

The impacts of financial deepening on economic growth have been a debate for decades. This research analyzes the impacts of financial deepening on provincial-level economic growth in Indonesia from 2001 to 2016. The use of provincial level data is rarely found in the literature, as well as to reduce unobserved heterogeneity in cross-sectional data between countries. The financial deepening approach in this study is limited to the banking side considering that the banking sector is still very dominant compared to other financial sectors in Indonesia. Through the panel data approach, it found there is a significant positive correlation between financial deepening and regional economic growth supporting previous studies. In this regard, the Government must take serious steps to deepen the domestic financial market, primarily through the banking sector.
