Indonesian DPR Passes Bill on New Indonesian Capital City

Despite ultimately being rejected by one of its factions, Indonesia’s House of Representatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat - "DPR") recently approved the Bill on the State Capital City ("Bill"), which sets out the legal framework for the relocation of the state capital city of Indonesia (Ibu Kota Negara - "IKN") from DKI Jakarta to East Kalimantan. One of the Bill’s Special Committee members, Ahmad Doli Kurnia Tandjung, has stated that the dynamics that emerged during discussions of Bill ultimately resulted in eight of the DPR’s political factions voting in favor of the Bill.
Furthermore, Mr. Tandjung affirmed the Bill comprises 11 chapters and 44 articles and addresses various matters, including the establishment of a new special region for the new IKN, the relocation of various government and other state agencies, and funding allocations in order to support the operations of the new IKN.
The Minister of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency, Suharso Manoarfa, has issued a statement affirming that “Nusantara” (the Indonesian word for “archipelago”) has been chosen as the name for the new IKN in order to reflect the unity of the Indonesian archipelago and its ability to accommodate the plural nature of Indonesian society. Moreover, IKN Nusantara will be controlled by a special regional government at the provincial level, as mandated under the Indonesian constitution.
Meanwhile, the procurement of the land and infrastructure required in order to develop IKN Nusantara will be completed on a gradual basis through a number of different funding schemes and in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. Furthermore, details pertaining to the development of IKN Nusantara are set to be addressed under a forthcoming Regulation of the President on the Detailed Master Plan. This forthcoming regulatory framework will address several principles that the new city will have to meet, including: 1) Must be well-connected and easily accessible; 2) Must produce low levels of carbon emissions; 3) Must be comfortable and technologically efficient; and so forth.
