Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati conveyed that the acceleration of extraordinary rapid development in the Central Government Core Area (KIPP) in the capital city of Nusantara (IKN), Penajam Paser Utara, East Kalimantan from the beginning of 2024 to the present.

"It is extraordinary to accelerate from the first month of 2024," he said at IKN, quoted Monday, August 12.

In addition, Sri Mulyani expressed her optimism that the IKN development would be according to the planned planning of the government because it received support from the state budget so that it could invite investors to invest.

"So this is hoping that it is in accordance with planning and with the existence of public money, we see a lot of other parties who are also starting to build in IKN. This of course hopes to be more alive," he explained.

In addition, Sri Mulyani said that the government buildings that had been completed were built and ready to be occupied, namely the Coordinating Ministry Office (Kemenko) and a number of Coordinating Ministers (Menko) had started selecting the respective Kemenko buildings.

"We also saw which 4 Coordinating Minister's building, he said earlier, the Coordinating Minister and Coordinating Minister had started which one was the hompimpa," he explained.

However, Sri Mulyani alluded to the existence of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) building which has not been built by the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) because it is used as a'sandera' for the smooth flow of financing at IKN so that it will be built last.

"And the Ministry of Finance building has not been built by the Minister of PUPR, he said the last one was built as a hostage," he said

However, Sri Mulyani said that she appreciated the performance of the Minister of PUPR Basuki Hadimuljono who had succeeded in building a mega project for the State Capital from an initially vacant land to being filled with government buildings that were ready to be used.

"Thank you Pak Basuki and his team and also extraordinary teams. If we have been here several times, of course we will see what was here, in the National Advertisement there is still nothing, last night we saw it was like a bouldervard, even though it was not inflamed, of course," he said.
