However, East Kalimantan currently relies on natural resources that differ from those prioritized in the Nusantara development goals. The central research question is as follows: which specific transaction pathways are critical to supporting the transition of East Kalimantan to a service-based economy? This paper contributes by (i) updating the SPA-based structural diagnosis of Indonesia using IRIO 2015, and (ii) identifying specific intra- and interregional paths that constrain or facilitate the tertiarization of East Kalimantan under the Nusantara shock. Results inform infrastructure and service-sector investment priorities, helping ensure that the relocation of Nusantara translates into long-term structural transformation in East Kalimantan.
