The Indonesian Government is planning a series of major projects to help revitalise the country’s economy following the pandemic. A further 89 new national strategic projects have been added to the existing 223 national strategic projects.

The total value of these works tops an impressive US$277 billion. Transport projects are amongst the works prioritised and are included in the 89 new works being planned. These include development and construction for five ports, five airports, six rail links and 15 road and bridge projects.
