Danantara Successfully Secures IDR 163 Trillion in Funding from Foreign Banks
Jakarta – Facing the ever-evolving social dynamics in various regions, the government has successfully demonstrated that Indonesia’s economic stability remains robust. Most recently, the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (Danantara) made an extraordinary achievement by securing USD 10 billion in funding, equivalent to approximately IDR 163 trillion, from 12 foreign banks without collateral – an achievement that reflects global confidence in the government’s economic policies.
Danantara CEO Rosan Perkasa Roeslani stated that the funding received reflects the international community’s trust in Danantara. He emphasized that the financing was provided without the need for any collateral.
“Thank God, (Danantara) has earned the trust of 12 banks, secured a loan, and this is the largest revolving facility in Asia granted to a Sovereign Wealth Fund,” said Rosan.
In addition to the loan facility, Danantara also secured USD 7 billion in equity investment commitments from several international sovereign wealth funds. The fund involves the Qatar Investment Authority (USD 4 billion), the China Investment Corporation (USD 2 billion), and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (the amount has not been specifically disclosed).
Rosan emphasized that all investments will be managed prudently, transparently, and profit-oriented, while still having a direct impact on job creation and strengthening the quality of human resources.
On the same occasion, Danantara’s Managing Director of Global Relations and Governance, Mohamad Al-Arief, emphasized that Danantara was born not merely as a fund management institution, but as a trust institution with international management standards.
“We are not just building an institution to manage funds and assets, but also a trust institution. And to do that, all processes must reflect globally recognized best practices,” said Al-Arief.
The political response to this achievement has also been very positive. Kawendra Lukistian, a member of Commission VI of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), expressed his high appreciation during a recent Public Hearing.
“I want to express my appreciation for Danantara and the state-owned enterprises. In the last 4-6 months since Danantara’s inception, global trust has become increasingly visible,” said Kawendra.
Kawendra added that this momentum was also fueled by President Prabowo Subianto’s active economic diplomacy abroad and cross-ministerial synergy. He also encouraged financing innovations, such as the establishment of a deep tech sovereign fund, specifically to enable creative economy players to gain access to modern capital that was previously difficult to access.
Danantara’s success comes at a time when the nation is facing various demonstrations. Compared to previous years, the government has demonstrated that the social crisis has not shaken the economic foundations. Even when some uncertain parties voiced opposition, the realization of this global funding is a strong signal that the economy is still moving, and the government remains effective in maintaining investor confidence.
At a time when demonstrations are calling for change, this momentum emphasizes that sustainable development policies are aligned with the aspirations of the people. Danantara, as a strategic instrument, is proof that investment in downstream development, energy security, and industrial innovation continues to proceed rapidly, unaffected by social unrest.
With a revolutionary fund of IDR 163 trillion, Danantara is expected to accelerate downstream projects worth hundreds of trillions of rupiah, create jobs, and strengthen national economic resilience. This also demonstrates the government’s ability to maintain stability while encouraging growth.
With this achievement, the government has once again demonstrated its strong commitment to realizing an advanced, inclusive, and globally competitive economy. Global trust is flowing into the country, and now is the time to work together to maintain momentum for a more prosperous future for Indonesia.
