Relocation of Indonesia's Capital

The Indonesian government plans to move the capital from Jakarta to Penajam Paser Utara in East Kalimantan, naming it Nusantara. This decision, backed by legal certainty, aims to address Jakarta's overpopulation, economic imbalance, water scarcity, land conversion, and urbanization issues. The new capital is expected to host the 2024 Independence Day ceremony. The move is driven by the need to distribute economic growth more evenly across Indonesia and mitigate environmental risks in Jakarta.
