Jokowi Enacts the DKJ Bill, Jakarta Remains the Capital of Indonesia Until There Are New Regulations

"Dream - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) ratified Law No. 2/2024 concerning the Special Region of Jakarta (DKJ). One of the provisions of this law regulates the transition of the capital status from Jakarta to the Nusantara Capital City (IKN)."

"Article 1 paragraph 1 states that the Special Capital Region of Jakarta is a province that has special characteristics in administering governance."

Article 1 paragraph 2 states that the specific authority referred to is the authority held by the Special Capital Region of Jakarta related to the implementation of its function as the National Economic Center and Global City. However, the transition of the status of the Capital from Jakarta to IKN mentions that Jakarta will still be the Capital City until the presidential decree regarding the relocation of the Capital City is established. This is outlined in Article 63 Number 2 of the Year 2024 concerning DKJ.

Article 63 states, "At the moment this law is officially promulgated, the Special Capital Region of Jakarta will remain as the Capital of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia until the issuance of a Presidential Decree regarding the relocation of the Capital of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia from the Special Capital Region of Jakarta to the Capital of Nusantara (IKN) in accordance with the provisions of the legislation."

Then in Article 64 it is explained that the Special Capital Region of Jakarta currently remains the Capital of the Special Region of Jakarta until changes are made according to Law Number 2 of 2024. Furthermore, it is explained in that law that the relocation of the national capital will be carried out in stages. The administration of government and/or state affairs, including the location of state institutions, other institutions, and organizations along with their supporting facilities, which are based on the provisions of statutory regulations, can still be carried out or located in Jakarta, in accordance with the stages outlined in the Presidential Regulation that governs the details of the IKN master plan.

"Meanwhile, Article 2 of Law Number 2 of 2024 explains that with the existence of this regulation, the Special Capital Region of Jakarta is renamed the Special Region of Jakarta. Furthermore, the capital of the Special Region of Jakarta will be determined by government regulation (PP). In addition, it is also explained that the Special Region of Jakarta is an autonomous area at the provincial level."

The Special Capital Region of Jakarta has the status of being the center of the national economy and a global city. As the national economic center and a global city, the Special Capital Region of Jakarta functions as a center for trade, a center for service activities and financial services, as well as a center for national, regional, and global business activities. Furthermore, it is explained that the government of the Special Capital Region of Jakarta is led by a governor who is assisted by a deputy governor elected directly through regional elections.
