JAKARTA - The Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) will allocate a budget for the construction of the capital city of Nusantara (IKN) of IDR 4.1 trillion by 2025.
This was conveyed by the Secretary-General of the Ministry of PUPR Mohammad Zainal Fatah when met after a press conference on the Draft State Revenue and Expenditure Budget and the 2025 Financial Note at the office of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance, Jakarta, Friday, August 16.
"In our records, there are Rp4.13 trillion," he said.
Zainal Fatah said the budget would be used to complete flood management in the IKN area, toll road construction to projects in the residential and housing sectors.
As for 2025, the indicative ceiling of the Ministry of PUPR reached Rp75.63 trillion. The indicative ceiling is far less than the need for the 2025 budget ceiling proposed by the Ministry of PUPR, which is Rp212.58 trillion.
In addition, the 2025 budget is also less than the 2024 budget which reached IDR 157.73 trillion.
Previously, PUPR Minister Basuki Hadimuljono said that ministries in the future government era would only focus on completing existing follow-up projects.

Thus, the 2025 budget reduction will not interfere with infrastructure projects being built because their work is carried out with a multi-year contract (MYC).
"I received information from the Minister of Bappenas (Suharso Monoarfa), the indicative ceiling is now the focus on operations and maintenance of further work," said Basuki at his office, Friday, June 7.
"This may be interpreted as giving room to the elected president (Prabowo Subianto)," he continued.
