Officially Launched, Danantara Encourages Increased National Investment
JAKARTA — The government under the leadership of President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka inaugurated the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara) on Monday, (24/2), in the Central Courtyard of the Presidential Palace in Jakarta.
This step marks a new era in the management of more structured and efficient national strategic investments.
Deputy for Protocol, Press, and Media of the Presidential Secretariat Yusuf Permana emphasized that the launch is part of the country’s investment transformation.
He also added that the investment agency is in line with the government’s commitment to realizing Astacita.
“This is also part of the government’s commitment to realizing Astacita, namely the grand vision to bring the Indonesian economy to a higher level through sustainable and inclusive investment,” he continued.
President Prabowo Subianto officially signed Law Number 1 of 2025 concerning State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN).
Prabowo has also appointed the Supervisory Board of the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (Danantara).
“Today, Monday, February 24, 2025, I, the President of the Republic of Indonesia, sign Law Number One of 2025 concerning the Third Amendment to Law Number Nineteen of 2003 concerning State-Owned Enterprises,” said Prabowo at the State Palace, Jakarta, Monday (24/2/2025).
In his speech at the 2025 World Governments Summit, Prabowo Subianto said that Danantara optimizes national investment by managing state assets strategically.
“Danantara invests natural resources and state assets in sustainable high-impact projects in various sectors such as renewable energy, advanced manufacturing, downstream industry, food production, and others,” said Prabowo.
Initial evaluations show that Danantara manages assets worth more than US$ 900 billion, with initial funding reaching US$ 20 billion.
These projects can accelerate Indonesia’s economic growth target of up to eight percent in the next five years.
Head of Danantara Muliaman Darmansyah Hadad emphasized that this agency is tasked with managing state investment outside the State Budget (APBN).
“The President wants investment management that is more integrated and no longer runs alone,” Muliaman said at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta.
He also emphasized that government assets that were previously scattered are combined and managed strategically to increase the efficiency of national investment.
The existence of Danantara is expected to increase the effectiveness of state asset management and strengthen the competitiveness of the national economy in the global arena. (*)
