Danantara Management is Carried Out Carefully for the Interests of Future Generations

Jakarta – The President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, launched the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara), which was officially implemented after the ratification of Law No. 1 of 2025 concerning BUMN. The presence of Danantara is also supported by Government Regulation (PP) No. 10 of 2025 and Presidential Decree (Keppres) No. 30 of 2025 which regulates the appointment of the Supervisory Board and the Implementing Agency.

President Prabowo emphasized that Danantara aims to strengthen BUMN investment with transparent, careful, and sustainable management for the benefit of future generations.

“Danantara is not just an investment agency, but is a strategic instrument in national development that will optimize the management of Indonesia’s natural resources,” he said.

“The management of this fund is not only aimed at improving BUMN performance, but also to support Indonesia’s economic progress in the long term,” added the President.

Minister of Investment, Rosan Roeslani, further explained about Danantara’s operations which run separately from the Indonesia Investment Authority (INA). With assets reaching more than $900 billion, Danantara manages government shareholdings in various leading state-owned companies, such as Bank Mandiri and Pertamina.

Danantara’s organizational structure consisting of a holding company and an investment arm will maximize the performance of state-owned companies and ensure more efficient management. Danantara allocates $20 billion in investment to more than 20 projects in vital sectors such as energy, artificial intelligence, mineral processing, and food production,” he explained.

Gadjah Mada University (UGM) economist, Eddy Junarsin, welcomed the presence of Danantara and assessed that this Investment Management Agency would strengthen the governance of state assets from state-owned companies in a more transparent and accountable manner.

“The concept of a holding company applied in Danantara will increase the effectiveness of coordination and supervision of state-owned companies which have so far been managed separately. The implementation of Danantara needs to involve further steps such as mergers and acquisitions of government companies to create higher efficiency,” he said.

With a focus on prudent and sustainable management, Danantara is expected to make a significant contribution to the country’s financial stability and economic development in Indonesia, ensuring benefits for future generations. {}
