The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on various sectors in Indonesia, including the national economy. This study aims to examine differences in local financial performance prior to the pandemic (2019) and during the pandemic (2020). It also aims to examine the effect of the ranking and status of local government administration published by the Ministry of Home Affairs on local financial performance in the period before the pandemic (2019) and during the pandemic (2020). Paired sample t-test and regression analysis were used to test the hypotheses on the financial performance of 118 local governments consisting of 16 provincial governments, 48 district governments, and 54 city governments. The financial performance indicators tested in this research are the local financial independence ratio (LFIR), the effectiveness and efficiency ratio of original local government revenue, the activity ratio, and the growth ratio. The research"s results show the differences between before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in local financial performance in the Local Own-source Revenue effectiveness ratio, capital expenditure activity ratio, and growth ratio. However, there is no difference in local financial performance before and during the COVID - 19 pandemic as measured by the local financial independence ratio, efficiency ratio, and operating expenditure activity ratio. The results also show that the ranking and status of local government administration do not affect local financial performance before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. 2022_ART_PP_Iis_Istianah_02.pdf
