JAKARTA - The House of Representatives (DPR) of the Republic of Indonesia and the government have agreed to bring a draft of the Draft Law (RUU) for State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) to be ratified into law in a plenary meeting held tomorrow.

Launching the Invetarization List of Problems (DIM) of the BUMN Bill on the third amendment to Law Number 19 of 2003 concerning State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), Article 3K states that the Danantara Investment Management Agency (BPI) will be domiciled and based in the State Capital (IKN).

"The body is domiciled and headquartered in the National Capital," the article reads, quoted on Monday, February 3.

Regarding the Danantara office, Member of Commission VI of the DPR, Herman Khaeron said that Danantara would still have an office in Jakarta. Because, until now there has been no Presidential Regulation (Perpres) on the transfer of activities to the State Capital (IKN) Nusantara.

The operation is still in Jakarta, only the head office is built. Yes, now the presidential regulation has moved the capital city, right? This means that it can still be in Jakarta," said Herman at the DPR Building.

Herman said that if the Presidential Regulation later moved the capital city from Jakarta to IKN Nusantara, all government activities would move.

"Later, when it is official, the Presidential Decree will issue a transfer of all activities of the central government to move to IKN, yes, everything must be there," he said.

However, continued Herman, Danantara could also have a representative office in Jakarta if the capital city later moved to IKN Nusantara.

"It's possible later if the head office has status in the National Capital, it's in IKN, but there is a representative office in Jakarta, right," he said.
