T

he Nusantara Capital City (IKN) Authority stated that the second construction phase of the new capital city has begun, without specifying exactly when the work started nor what kind of work would commence in the coming months.

The body noted that the auction process, management handover and subsequent implementation of construction work would soon take place.

“I think there is no reason not to continue [IKN’s] development,” said IKN Authority chairman Basuki Hadimuljono in a statement on Tuesday. “President Prabowo Subianto has stated that IKN’s development and funding are part of the national strategic projects (PSN)”.

The announcement came after the Public Works Ministry said on April 11 that the government would lift a temporary freeze on funding for PSN, including those earmarked for the development of the future capital city Nusantara.

Public Works Minister Dody Hanggodo characterized the plan, floated by President Prabowo’s administration, as part of “unfinished budget politics dynamics”.

“It [the spending freeze] does not exclusively involve [the future capital]. We are familiar with budget politics, right?” he said in Jakarta, as reported by Kompas.
