Pramono Invites U20 Mayoral Summit Leaders to Invest in 37 Jakarta Projects

Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung attended the U20 Mayoral Plenary agenda in New York, United States. During the event, Pramono opened investment opportunities and cooperation for Jakarta with city leaders and global partners.

“Jakarta is ready to open investment opportunities through 37 urban development projects with a potential investment value of US$7 billion. We invite city partners, the business community, and global partners to not only invest in Jakarta but also to build the future of our city together,” Pramono stated in his remarks on Sunday (20/09/2026).

As is known, the agenda is part of the Urban 20 (U20) Mayoral Summit series held from 19 to 21 September 2026. During the summit, Pramono presented Jakarta’s economic growth achievements for the second quarter of 2026.

“Amidst a world facing various economic challenges, Jakarta continues to record strong economic growth. In the second quarter of this year, Jakarta’s economy grew by 5.52 per cent, with inflation remaining low at 2.5 per cent. This stability has driven US$10.5 billion in investment into Jakarta in just six months,” he explained.

Pramono stated that the forum is expected to produce a document of shared agreements and policy recommendations from city leaders for sustainable urban development. During the U20 Plenary Session, mayors and governors from cities worldwide attended to listen to the opening speech delivered by the host, New York Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani.

In his address, Zohran appreciated the presence of city leaders at the U20 forum. He presented the three main themes of the 2026 Urban 20: affordable housing and homelessness; climate action, sustainability, and urban resilience; and the protection of immigrant communities and human mobility.
