JAKARTA - Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Khoirudin, is optimistic that Jakarta's future will remain brilliant and Jakarta's Regional Original Revenue (PAD) will increase after the National Capital City moves to the capital city of the archipelago (IKN).

This was said by Khoirudi to ratify Law Number 2 of 2024 concerning Special Regions for Jakarta (DKJ). There are 15 matters previously managed by the central government that will become the special authority of the DKJ government as stated in Article 19.

"So the opportunity will be a lot of new income that we will get for Jakarta from the 15 central affairs that are submitted to Jakarta," said Khoirudin as quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, January 4.

This increase in PAD Jakarta can later be used to improve services to the community.

According to Khoirudin, this provides a wider autonomy of Jakarta and opportunities to increase regional income.

For the transfer of the capital city, there is actually a very big opportunity for Jakarta. "There are 15 central affairs left to Jakarta. This is extraordinary, the Special Region of Jakarta is very cool," said Khoirudin.

In addition, Khoirudin said, several great opportunities will be obtained later, such as the authority and authority of the Jakarta authorities in managing investment or investment, marine, education, employment, and the environment.

"This means that Jakarta has the authority to make decisions, provide policies for the good of Jakarta residents, whose bureaucracy has reached the center, has now been made easier," he said.

Khoirudin gave an example, some areas of the north coast of Jakarta such as the Seribu Islands National Park when its management was in the hands of the central government.

"When there are private parties who want to take advantage of the location, the permit is to the center," said Khoirudin.

To take advantage of these various opportunities, the DKI DPRD does not encourage the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) to prepare the regulations needed to manage these 15 central affairs.

Close cooperation with various parties, including academics, is needed to formulate clear standards and criteria for making regulations.

"God willing, this will be our common guide to be able to maximize this potential for the good of Jakarta residents," said Khoirudin.

The Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) is committed to maintaining PADJakarta's performance after the National Capital City moved to the capital city of Nusantara (IKN) in East Kalimantan.

"We must increase the opinion of the Jakarta area. Don't let it happen because it is no longer the capital city of the country, PAD Jakarta will decline," said Chairman of the DKI Jakarta Chamber of Commerce and Industry Diana Dewi in a written statement.
