Purpose: This study analyses the influence of economic dimensions on families at risk of stunting in 15 regencies/cities in Lampung Province, with the stunting budget as a moderating variable. Methodology/approach: The analysis uses the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) models. Results/findings: The results of the study indicate that in the economic dimension, income, savings, and own home ownership have a significant adverse effect on the risk of stunting. Moderation analysis shows that the stunting budget moderates the relationship in this dimension, where an increase in the budget strengthens the influence of income, savings, and home ownership on reducing the risk of stunting. The results of the hypothesis support the Human Development Theory, which emphasises the importance of economic investment, and the Socio-Economic Theory, which explains that increasing economic resources breaks the cycle of poverty. Limitations: The study only looked at the economic dimension; it did not examine other dimensions, such as the social and health dimensions. Contribution: These findings emphasise the importance of multidimensional budget-based interventions as a priority project by the Government in accelerating stunting reduction in Lampung Province.
