He admitted that he would still ask the Deputy for Funding and Investment of OIKN Agung Wicaksono about the investment target.

"I myself also need to ask Pak Agung," he added.

Previously, when Bambang Susantono was still the Head of OIKN, he had said that his party was targeting investment in IKN to reach IDR 100 trillion so far this year.

"The target (investment) in 2024 will reach IDR 100 trillion. The investment can be from the public and the private sector," said Bambang Susantono at the Nusantara Fair event held by OIKN in Jakarta, Friday, January 26.

Bambang said public investment itself could come from State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) or non-governmental institutions.

"For example, SOEs will also invest. Then, there are non-governmental institutions, such as the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) and the Financial Services Authority (OJK)," he said.
