Abstract: Many regional governments in district/city still allocate their capital expenditures below 30%. It is not in line with expectations as mandated in Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs on Guidelines for Preparation of Regional Income and Expenditure Budget (APBD). The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of financial performance and balance funds on the allocation of capital expenditures for district /city governments in Indonesia. The sample used in this study were 473 district/city governments consisting of 382 district governments and 91 city governments. Meanwhile, the type of data used was secondary data. The analysis in the study was based on reports on the realization of the 2013 to 2017 budget audited by The Supreme Audit Agency of The Republic of Indonesia (BPK).The results of multiple regression analysis show first, Regional Financial Independence and General Allocation Funds have a negative but significant effect on Capital Expenditures. Second, Regional Financial Effectiveness, Revenue Sharing Funds, and Special Allocation Funds have a positive and significant effect on Capital Expenditures. Third, Regional Financial Efficiency does not significantly affect Capital Expenditures.
