The government has announced incentives including tax holidays and a tax deduction to make its project for a brand-new city to be built in Kalimantan more attractive. In a market sounding for the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) on Tuesday, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo asked potential investors “to communicate their concerns” should the tax incentives on offer fail to meet their expectations.
