The Special Region of Jakarta Act[1] (Indonesian: Undang-Undang Provinsi Daerah Khusus Jakarta) is a law which declared that Jakarta is no longer the capital of Indonesia. Initially, it was expected that Nusantara will officially become Indonesia's new capital beginning on 25 April 2024, but it has since been halted, with Jakarta still being the capital as of October 2024. It is expected when Nusantara becomes the capital city, Jakarta's status as "Special Capital Region" will be revoked.[2][3] The law will turn Jakarta into a "Special Region" for economic and trading purposes.[4]

Of the nine political parties in the House of Representatives that passed the bill, only the Prosperous Justice Party rejected the passage of the law.[5]
