Jakarta – The Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (Danantara) reaffirms its commitment to strengthening the role of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the national economy. Through several strategic programs, Danantara is preparing full support in three important aspects: capital networks, access to new markets, and sustainable development.
Danantara’s Chief Operating Officer, Dony Oskaria, emphasized that MSMEs are the backbone of Indonesia’s economy. Currently, more than 60 percent of national economic activity is supported by this sector. Therefore, supporting MSMEs is not only a choice but an urgent need to strengthen economic resilience.
“Indonesia’s economy is 60 percent supported by MSMEs, so their existence is very important to Danantara as well,” said Dony.
He added that Danantara, through various state-owned enterprises (SOEs) under its management, has frequently interacted with MSME actors. However, going forward, the efforts will be maximized so that MSMEs can grow bigger and be globally competitive.
In addition to strengthening direct support for MSMEs, Danantara is also preparing financing innovations through the issuance of Patriot Bonds. This financial instrument is designed as a form of collaboration between the government and the business world in supporting the national long-term development agenda.
Danantara’s Chief Investment Officer, Pandu Sjahrir, explained that Patriot Bonds are not just ordinary financial instruments but also a platform for the business community’s contribution to the nation. Through this scheme, national business groups are given the opportunity to co-finance strategic projects that impact Indonesia’s economic transformation.
“Danantara Indonesia is committed to carrying out its mandate as a state investment manager with caution, transparency, and good governance. Every financing initiative is aimed at supporting long-term economic transformation and strengthening the role of the business world in development,” Pandu affirmed.
Danantara’s program is expected to address challenges often faced by MSMEs, starting from limited capital, difficulties penetrating new markets, to managerial limitations. With strong capital support, broader market access, and sustainable development, MSMEs are expected to grow into a solid economic force.
Furthermore, the initiative to issue Patriot Bonds is also a strategic step in building an independent and sustainable national financing ecosystem. Through this instrument, the business world is not only pursuing profit but also participating in nation-building.
With the combination of MSME support programs and financing innovation, Danantara confirms its position as a driver of the national economic transformation. This vision is not only to strengthen economic resilience but also to ensure that Indonesian MSMEs can upgrade and play a larger role globally.
