Jakarta – A significant step towards securing state assets has been taken as the Indonesian Ministry of Agrarian and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) handed over 3,922 land certificates to the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. The certificates, representing 563.9 hectares of land, are estimated to safeguard Rp 102 trillion (approximately $6.3 billion USD as of February 14, 2026) in state assets, according to officials.
The move underscores the importance of legal certainty in protecting state-owned land and preventing future legal challenges. Minister of ATR/BPN, Nusron Wahid, emphasized that establishing clear land ownership is crucial for securing national assets. This initiative aims to eliminate potential legal disputes and ensure the long-term stability of Jakarta’s land holdings.
“Alhamdulillah, today we have completed the task and mandate from the Governor of DKI Jakarta regarding the request for land certificates. If valued, it reaches Rp 102 trillion. With these certificates, we are able to save state assets worth Rp 102 trillion,” Minister Nusron stated in a written statement on Saturday, February 14, 2026, as reported by DetikFinance.
Strengthening Collaboration for Asset Protection
The ATR/BPN and the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government are committed to strengthening their collaboration, with plans to extend the certification process to include wakaf land – land designated for religious or charitable purposes – during the upcoming month of Ramadan. Minister Nusron expressed hope for a lasting partnership focused on safeguarding national assets. This expanded cooperation signals a proactive approach to land management and asset protection within the capital city.
Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung, formally received the certificates, which cover a diverse range of assets including 2,837 road segments, 691 buildings encompassing community centers and sports facilities, 154 educational institutions, 123 parks, 69 government buildings, 39 sub-district/village offices, and 17 former official residences. The comprehensive scope of the certification highlights the government’s commitment to securing a wide array of public assets.
Governor Anung affirmed that the newly certified land will be utilized to its full potential to support Jakarta’s ongoing development. “This handover is not merely administrative, but has a significant impact for the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. As a global city, these certificates from the Ministry of ATR/BPN will further enhance Jakarta’s administrative order, transparency, and openness,” he explained.
Details of Certified Assets
The certified land encompasses a broad spectrum of essential infrastructure and public facilities. The 563.9 hectares include critical components of Jakarta’s urban landscape, ensuring the long-term functionality and accessibility of key services for residents. The certification process provides a clear legal framework for the management and development of these vital assets.
The Ministry of ATR/BPN also proposed a scheme to convert existing land use rights (HPL) to Right of Use (HGB) for provincial government land, aiming to further secure assets and protect public interests. Governor Anung expressed full support for this initiative.
The successful completion of this certification process represents a major achievement in Jakarta’s efforts to modernize land administration and protect its valuable assets. The collaboration between the ATR/BPN and the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government sets a positive precedent for future land management initiatives across Indonesia.
Looking ahead, the continued strengthening of this partnership and the implementation of innovative land management schemes will be crucial for ensuring the sustainable development and prosperity of Jakarta. Further updates on the wakaf land certification process during Ramadan are anticipated.
