he government expects to finish the revised list of national strategic projects next week, a move that will help speed up the country's infrastructure development.
Currently, there are 225 priority infrastructure projects included in presidential regulation No. 3/2016, covering toll roads, railways, airports, seaports and power plants, among others.
"We have scheduled the ministerial meeting next week to decide the matter," the program director of the Committee for the Acceleration of Priority Infrastructure Development (KPPIP), Rainier Haryanto, said by text message on Wednesday.
So far, 100 projects had been proposed for inclusion to the list, but not all of them would be eligible, he added.
