Secondary data are used in this study in form of panel data from the period of 2002 to 2015.

Quantitative method using classic assumption, multiple regression analysis and statistical tests through Eviews 8 are used in this study. The result shows that, simultaneously, local revenues, Intergovernmental Grants (Revenue Sharing, Block Grants and Specific Grants) and foreign investment have positive impact on the economic growth. Moreover, partially, local revenues and foreign investment have positive and insignificant effect on the 5 coal-producing regions. It is also shown that coal production, royalty and land rent has not been able to overcome the number of poor people in the coal-producing regions.]]>
