Indonesia’s second phase of development for its new capital city, Nusantara (IKN), is anticipated to significantly boost economic growth throughout East Kalimantan. The government forecasts increased economic activity stemming from ongoing infrastructure projects and related investments. This phase focuses on expanding core infrastructure and attracting private sector participation. Officials expect the project to create substantial employment opportunities for local communities and stimulate growth across various sectors, including construction, hospitality, and services. The accelerated development is also projected to improve connectivity and accessibility within the region. These efforts aim to establish IKN as a sustainable and internationally competitive city, ultimately driving broader economic progress for East Kalimantan and Indonesia.
