Danantara Becomes Indonesia’s Key Strategy to Achieve 2029 Economic Target

Jakarta – President Prabowo Subianto’s government continues to show real commitment in realizing the vision of national economic growth of 8%. One of the strategic steps being pushed is the launch and optimization of the Danantara platform, as a catalyst for digital economic transformation based on the utilization of state assets.

Danantara’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Rosan Roeslani, expressed great optimism about the future of the platform. He stated that Danantara’s potential revenue in the next few years could reach IDR 13 trillion, along with the management and digitalization of investment flows entering Indonesia in the last decade, which is worth IDR 9,100 trillion.

“We want Danantara’s contribution to help Indonesia’s economic growth reach 8% in 2029. The way to do this is by ensuring that all investments can be monitored, supervised, and directed to productive sectors,” said Rosan.

Furthermore, Rosan also revealed that Danantara has the potential to invest overseas up to 20%. If combined with domestic investment of 15%, then Danantara’s total investment potential could reach 35%.

According to him, with this estimate, there is around US$185 billion that can be optimized for investment activities every five years. This places Danantara as the main catalyst in strengthening Indonesia’s economic position at the global level.

“Again, to create more jobs. Investment is very important and is one of the spearheads for the economy, job creation, and others. Because on the one hand it is investment,” he explained.

In a separate statement, Minister of SOEs, Erick Thohir also emphasized that Danantara’s business model is a major step to provide transparency, efficiency, and public involvement in the utilization of state assets.

“We will work with all levels to ensure that Danantara operates transparently, accountably, and professionally,” said Erick.

Erick Thohir said this step is fully in line with President Prabowo’s grand vision, which places quality economic growth as a top priority. Danantara is expected to be able to drive a major leap in job creation, income equality, and improving people’s welfare.

According to him, the optimization of Danantara also confirms the new direction of government policy in building a national digital economic system that is resilient, transparent, and highly competitive, while also being adaptive to geopolitical dynamics and global uncertainty.
