Abstract: This study investigates the determinants of the Human Development Index (HDI) in Java Island from 2014 to 2022, emphasizing the roles of government expenditures on education, government expenditures on health, gross regional domestic product (GRDP) and Islamic bank financing. Employing a quantitative approach with panel data regression analysis, the research analyzes data from six provinces in Java: DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, DI Yogyakarta, East Java, and Banten. The findings indicate that government expenditure on education, Islamic bank financing, and GRDP have a significant positive impact on HDI. Education expenditure is shown to enhance access to quality infrastructure, better-trained teachers, and improved learning resources, which collectively contribute to a skilled and productive workforce. Islamic bank financing supports inclusive economic development by fostering productive investments and equitable wealth distribution. GRDP, as a reflection of regional economic growth, demonstrates its importance in raising income levels and improving living standards. Government expenditure on health exhibits a positive but insignificant effect on HDI.
