Abstract:
The rapid development of regions requires a
large allocation of development funds, causing local
government spending to also increase. The amount of
regional expenditure is determined by the amount of income
of the region concerned. Regional income plays an
important role in the welfare of the community and creating
regional independence. This study aims to determine and
analyze the effect of Regional Native Income and
Equalization Fund on Economic Growth in Maros Regency.
This research was conducted in Maros district, South
Sulawesi Province, Republic of Indonesia. This research
uses a quantitative approach with data collection methods

available data. The source of data in this study is in the form
of secondary data, namely in the form of documents

equalization funds obtained from the Regional Finance and
Assets Agency of Maros Regency and data on the realization

Product on the basis of constant prices obtained from the
