T

he Finance Ministry will provide guarantees to support foreign investment in the country’s future capital city, currently under construction in East Kalimantan, the Nusantara Capital City Authority (OIKN) has said.

The guarantees, aimed at easing investor concerns over the megaproject’s execution and continuity, will be issued jointly by the Finance Ministry and PT Penjaminan Infrastruktur Indonesia (PT PII), the ministry’s infrastructure guarantee vehicle.

“Fellow investors, no need to worry about these projects being terminated halfway. It’s not just us providing the guarantee, this will also be backed by the Finance Ministry,” OIKN head Basuki Hadimuljono said on Wednesday in a statement, as quoted by Kumparan.

The statement followed a meeting between the body and a consortium led by China Harbour Engineering Co. Ltd. (CHEC), where investors sought clarity on the government’s risk-mitigation framework for public-private partnership (PPP) investments. 

The consortium, which includes Malaysian construction firm IJM, emphasized the importance of long-term safeguards before moving forward with larger commitments.
