The 2024 Election Questionnaire Rights Are Starting To Roll, How Are Investment Interests In IKN?

The Capital Authority of the Archipelago (OIKN) has opened its voice regarding the impact of the discourse on submitting the 2024 general election rights (election) to investment interest in IKN.

The discourse on the right of inquiry was first rolled out by Presidential Candidate number 3 Ganjar Pranowo together with his supporting political parties that held the KPU and Bawaslu accountable for allegations of fraud in holding the 2024 presidential election (pilpres).

OIKN Deputy for Funding and Investment Agung Wicaksono revealed that the certainty of pairs of presidential and vice-presidential candidates who will occupy the next government will have a better effect on investment in IKN.

"The point is that investment is definitely better," Agung said in an online briefing on the 5th Groundbreaking Preparation Update for the Capital City of the Archipelago, Tuesday, February 27.

He also admitted that the momentum of the presidential election some time ago had influenced the interest of investment that entered IKN.

Even so, Agung said that based on several analyzes, the right of inquiry is not to change the election results.

"It does not play a role in changing the election results and in the end, the important thing is of course there is certainty about the results of this election. The government, which was elected in October (2024), will continue to build IKN," he said.

The total initial commitment to invest or Letter of Intent (LoI) that entered IKN until the end of February 2024 was close to 360, which came from domestic and foreign investors.

"If it has been unraveled since the first groundbreaking in September 2023, the total value has reached IDR 50 trillion," he concluded.
