This research aims to analyze the influence of local government characteristics, specifically Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), on Indonesia during the pandemic. Economic growth is a key component of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as outlined in point eight of the 17 SDG goals. The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted local government administration, leading to a decrease in regional income in some regions of Indonesia. This research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing multiple linear regression analysis for the analysis. The results reveal that the variables of area size and the number of Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) do not have a significant impact on economic growth in Indonesia. In contrast, the variable of Regional Original Income (PAD) demonstrates a significant influence on Indonesia’s economic growth. Moreover, when considered simultaneously, the area size, the number of OPD, and PAD collectively exert a significant impact on the economic growth in Indonesia during the pandemic. These findings suggest that local governments should allocate greater efforts and resources to foster economic growth, recognizing it as a crucial element for achieving the SDGs in Indonesia.
