JAKARTA: The Nusantara Capital City (IKN) Authority plans to allocate 5.3 trillion rupiah (US$298mil) of its proposed 6.7 trillion rupiah budget for 2027 to continue the construction of legislative and judicial facilities in Indonesia’s future capital, IKN Authority head Basuki Hadimuljono says.
The allocation accounts for nearly 80% of the authority’s budget ceiling indicated in the 2027 state budget draft.
The proposed ceiling is around 400 billion rupiah higher than the 6.3 trillion rupiah allocation set previously.
“The 5.3 trillion rupiah is for continuing the construction of the judicial and legislative complexes.
“The rest is for management,” Basuki said in Penajam Paser Utara, East Kalimantan, as quoted by news agency Antara.
The IKN is targeting completion of the two government complexes by end-2027, as the construction of Nusantara’s core government area progresses.
The judicial complex, which will house the Supreme Court, Constitutional Court and Judicial Commission, as well as a justice plaza and a mosque, is scheduled for completion on Dec 25, 2027. — The Jakarta Post/ANN
