Indonesia’s Prabowo affirms commitment to new capital city in first visit as president

JAKARTA, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Indonesia’s Prabowo Subianto reiterated his commitment to a $32 billion project to build the country’s new capital city as he made his first overnight stay there as president, the government said. Construction of the city in a remote, southeastern part of Borneo island only began in 2022 after delays due to the pandemic and Widodo missed his target of moving the government by the end of his second and final term in 2024. Analysts have said Prabowo is unlikely to have the fiscal space to fund his key programmes while continuing to build Nusantara, which Widodo had envisioned as a green, futuristic capital surrounded by forest. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
