Jakarta may have a long road to becoming the global city it aims to be after it loses its state capital status, but the 2024 general election could bring the city new opportunities, a recent discussion has concluded.

"Jakarta's next vision is to be the national economic center and global city," said Jakarta Development Planning Board head Atika Nur Rahmania, citing the city's aspirations mentioned in a bill on Jakarta's special region status.

Atika was a speaker at a discussion organized by the Jakarta Development Planning Board alongside the Rembuk Bina Karta Foundation on Thursday.
