The many dynamics over the  years such as the  issue of the  capital  will sink cause Jakarta  to be considered no longer qualified to be a canyon capital. The emergence of the  discourse on  the transfer of the capital since the era of President Soekarno's administration until it was reaffirmed  by the president Jokowi administration on August 26, 2019 that the Government said that  it would move   The State Capital from DKI Jakarta  province to East Kalimantan Province. Evidenced by the issuance of Law Number 3 of 2022 concerning the National Capital which was passed by the House of Representatives (DPR) on January 18,  2022 and signed by President Joko Widodo on February 15,  2022.  The policy to move IKN is motivated by  the need for the  development of new economic areas, reducing inequality between regions, and improving the  welfare of the people.  The author finds that the transfer of IKN has  stronger strengths and opportunities than the weakness and threat side  so that the  transfer of IKN is expected to have an impact  positive for the Indonesian  economy
