Jakarta – The government has emphasized that investment will be a key driver of national fiscal economic growth through the strategic role of the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (Danantara). This move aligns with President Prabowo Subianto’s vision to make investment and state asset management a source of sustainable, high-value-added economic growth.
Danantara is expected to be the main driving force in optimizing strategic investments, strengthening the role of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), and transforming state assets into new, productive and efficient sources of economic power.
Febrio Nathan Kacaribu, Director General of Economic and Fiscal Strategy (DJSEF) at the Ministry of Finance, explained that the government aims to strengthen the contribution of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to national investment through the Danantara investment holding company. He believes Danantara’s presence will act as a catalyst in encouraging high-value investment in priority sectors.
“Danantara will play a significant role in driving strategic investment. The state-owned enterprise capital expenditure (CapEx) target for Danantara’s consolidation has even been doubled by 2026 to ensure it can become a strong driver of economic growth,” Febrio explained.
The sectors that will be the focus of investment include natural resource downstreaming, infrastructure, high-value-added manufacturing, and the digital economy. The government has also invested approximately IDR 200 trillion in the banking sector, particularly in the Indonesian Banking Association (Himbara) and the Indonesian Banking Association (BSI), to strengthen national investment financing.
Febrio added that the government is optimistic that with stronger synergy between the government, state-owned enterprises, and the private sector, Indonesia’s investment climate will further improve. Investment growth is expected to boost economic growth to the target of 5.2% in 2025, and continue to increase to 5.6%–5.8% in 2026.
“Our economy has been largely driven by consumption. Going forward, the investment portion, which represents around 30%, must increase, with higher added value,” he said.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chairman of the Danantara Supervisory Board, Muliaman Darmansyah Hadad, assessed that the establishment of Danantara as a Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) or state wealth fund is a strategic step to strengthen the foundation of the national economy.
“Danantara is not just a new institution, but a development instrument to accelerate economic growth and prepare long-term savings for the nation,” he said.
According to Muliaman, state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are state assets that must be productive. Danantara’s task is to ensure these assets are no longer a burden, but instead become a new force for building a resilient and independent national economy.
“Danantara has a crucial role in transforming state-owned enterprise assets, whose consolidated value reaches approximately US$1 trillion,” he added.
Meanwhile, Danantara CEO Rosan Perkasa Roeslani confirmed that investment realization in the third quarter of 2025 reached Rp 491.4 trillion, or approximately 25.8% of the 2025 investment realization target of Rp 1,905.6 trillion. This figure represents a 13.9% increase compared to the same period the previous year, with employment reaching 696,478 people.
“Thank God, this achievement shows a positive direction. Danantara is committed to continuing to strengthen strategic investments to have a real impact on the national economy and public welfare,” said Rosan.
With these strategic steps, the government affirms its commitment to making Danantara a primary instrument for managing national investment professionally, productively, and sustainably. This transformation is expected to not only strengthen the country’s fiscal position but also accelerate Indonesia’s economic independence, leading to a developed and economically sovereign nation.
