JAKARTA - Head of the Archipelago Capital Authority (IKN) Bambang Susantono said the investment request for IKN development projects reached 39 times the available capacity.

"After the market exploration, it has indeed developed tremendous interest from investors who contacted us. So that almost 40 times, to be precise 39 times the areas that we have prepared for investment for this first phase," said Bambang after a limited meeting chaired by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) quoted by Antara, Monday, November 28.

The first stage prepared to attract investment, said Bambang, is development in the central government (KIPP) core area.

Bambang said high investment interest in IKN was seen before market exploration was carried out. When the government pre-market sound, investment demand is 25 times the available capacity.

Therefore, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) requested that the investment area in IKN be reopened and expanded to meet investment requests that have not been fulfilled from capital owners.

Currently, the investment requests that have been accommodated are widely available in the central central government area or also known as the 1A area.

"Now we are opening again in the 1B and 1C areas. We will immediately open the total area of the central central region of the government to investors who are interested," he said.

In addition to the KIPP area, Bambang said, the government has also opened investment taps for tourism areas, financial center areas, economic centers, education and health at IKN.

"Essentially, the President's directive opened the widest possible area for investors to join and build in the IKN area as soon as possible," said Bambang.
