Government Sets Up 16 New National Strategic Projects

"The government has added 16 new national strategic projects (PSN) consisting of 14 projects and two programs. These new PSNs will continue to be worked on by the new government of Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka. 

Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said that the source of funding for these new PSNs comes from the private sector using the Government Cooperation with Business Entities (PPP) scheme. 

This means that the implementation of these projects does not require the state budget. Although, said Airlangga, these 16 PSNs have an investment value that is not small. 

""In the last meeting we have agreed that there are 16 new PSNs whose criteria do not require the state budget,"" he said in Jakarta, Tuesday (5/14/2024).

""If it does not use the state budget, what is needed is the acceleration of licensing, facilities related to land, also related to facilitation so that financing can be faster,"" he said. 

Secretary of the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs Susiwijono Moegiarso revealed that the two new PSNs added were in the form of programs, namely the non-stop toll payment system (MLFF) program and the integration program of two airport operators, PT Angkasa Pura I (Persero) and PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero) under the InJourney BUMN Holding.
