JAKARTA: President Prabowo Subianto has moved to give Indonesia’s future capital Nusantara greater certainty by issuing a regulation that formally designates it as the country’s political centre by 2028.

It is his greater signal yet of commitment to the project, even as doubts persist over funding and timelines.
