This research uses quantitative methods, secondary data collection techniques with documentation using data from the Central Bureau of Statistics for each district/city in North Sumatra. . This study uses the SPSS statistical tool. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis method. The results of this study indicate that fiscal decentralization has a negative and significant effect on economic growth. This is evidenced by the fact that the tcount for the Fiscal Decentralization variable (-2.831) is smaller than the ttable (1.984) and the sig value is 0.006 <0.05. Poverty levels have a negative and significant effect on economic growth. This is evidenced by because the tcount for the Poverty Level variable (-2.664) is smaller than ttable (1.984) and the sig value is 0.009 <0.05, the decision is Ha2 rejected and Ho2 accepted. Meanwhile, the F test of Fiscal Decentralization and Poverty Level has a simultaneous and significant positive effect on Economic Growth. This is evidenced by the fact that Fcount is (11.334) greater than Ftable (3.94) and has a sig value of 0.000 <0.05. Meanwhile, in testing the coefficient of determination, the R Square value is 0.602. This shows that the independent variables, namely Fiscal Decentralization and Poverty Level, are able to explain the dependent variable, namely Economic Growth of 19.1% while the remaining 80.9% is explained by other variables outside the regression model.
