Jokowi said that even though the government opened the door for as many investments as possible to enter IKN, they would still be selected.
He emphasized that investors cannot enter directly without going through selection.

"We hope that 220 will be selected by the Head of OIKN and immediately realize investment in IKN Nusantara," he said.
Currently, Jokowi continued, the government is still prioritizing investments that enter IKN, East Kalimantan comes from domestic investors.
"Until now, we are still prioritizing domestic investment, although there is also a request from outside investors. Once again, the priority is domestic investment first, then from outside," he explained.
