The Indonesian government remains steadfast in its commitment to fully support the development of the Nusantara Capital City(IKN) by allocating a substantial budget for the year 2024. The allocated funds for IKN infrastructure in 2024 reach a significant sum of Rp35.45 trillion.
Basuki Hadimuljon, the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR), affirmed this commitment during a session with the DPR Commission V on Monday (1/4/2024), stating, “In 2024, the infrastructure support for IKN is allocated at Rp35.45 trillion. If in 2023 it was Rp24 trillion, so it’s about Rp60 trillion in total.”
The planned budget allocation for IKN 2024 will be distributed across four key sectors: water resources, road construction, construction works, and housing.
In the water resources sector, the Directorate General of Water Resources will utilize its budget for initiatives such as flood control in Das Sanggai, the completion of the Sepaku Semoi dam, and the construction of reservoirs within the Core Area of Government Center (KIPP).
