JAKARTA - Property observer Ali Tranghanda assessed that the transfer of ASN from Jakarta to the State Capital or IKN in East Kalimantan could create trade and economic activities in IKN and the surrounding area.
"With the transfer of ASN to IKN in East Kalimantan, it will create trade activities, economic activities run and require public facilities such as hospitals, malls, markets, and schools, it will make a city come alive and move the wheels of the economy," said Ali in online seminar in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Friday, February 4.
According to Ali, if there are parties who say that the IKN will not survive, that is impossible. This is because the activities at IKN will be alive and well with the presence of the ASN who were transferred from DKI Jakarta.
"This is like property theory where supply creates demand, the supply is there, namely the transfer of ASN to IKN and then there is infrastructure and the Indonesian Real Estate Association is also invited by the government to help development, so this will become a center new growth even though it takes time and a long process to become the nation's capital. This is indeed a process that must be followed," he said.
Previously Deputy I Chief of Presidential Staff Febry Calvin Tetelepta said the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing was in the early stages ready to build 2,500 housing units for ASN and TNI-Polri personnel in the State Capital (IKN) in East Kalimantan.

Febry explained that the number of housing provided by the PUPR Ministry was not as much as the number of ASN and TNI-Polri personnel who would be transferred to the IKN area. This, said Febry, because it involves financing issues.
He ensured that the financing constraint would not be an obstacle because the government was formulating another scheme for financing. The government is formulating other financing schemes, either through Government and Business Entity Cooperation (PPP) or through empowering the role of the private sector and SOEs.
Citing provisional data from the Ministry of National Development Planning (PPN)/Bappenas, Febry explained the planned number of ASN and TNI-Polri members who will be transferred to IKN in the early stages as many as 7,687 people with details of 1,971 ASN and 5,716 TNI-Polri personnel, including the Presidential Security Forces. (Paspampres), the State Intelligence Agency (BIN), and other ranks.
