Jakarta – The Government of the Republic of Indonesia officially launched the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (Danantara) as a strategic step to optimize the management of state assets, strengthen the fiscal foundation, and encourage sustainable national economic growth.
In his remarks, President Prabowo Subianto stated that the establishment of Danantara was an important milestone in the history of state asset management.
“Today’s launch of Danantara Indonesia is very important because Danantara Indonesia is not just an investment management body, but must become a national development instrument that will optimize the way we manage Indonesia’s wealth,” said President Prabowo.
Danantara’s presence is expected to consolidate underutilized state assets so they can be managed productively and contribute directly to state revenues. This step is also expected to strengthen the fiscal structure, reduce reliance on debt-based financing, and create new economic value for the community.
According to a report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), accelerating public investment through Danantara could significantly boost national economic growth. Similarly, Dian Ediana Rae, Chief Executive of Banking Supervision at the Financial Services Authority (OJK), also expressed her support for the government’s initiative to establish the institution.
“We welcome the government’s initiative to support more comprehensive management of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to increase domestic investment and strengthen a sustainable national economy,” Diana said.
Danantara will focus its investment management on strategic sectors such as industrial downstreaming, renewable energy, manufacturing, and national infrastructure. Only idle state assets will be transferred to Danantara to generate added value and strengthen the country’s fiscal capacity.
The government emphasized that Danantara’s management of state assets will be carried out with clean, transparent, and responsible governance.
“Danantara will be managed with clean, transparent, and responsible governance. This demonstrates our commitment to clean governance and the utilization of state assets for the welfare of the people,” said Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform, Rini Widyantini.
Danantara Executive Director Rosan Roeslani is optimistic that the institution can contribute significantly to the national economic growth target.
“With the current situation, we can achieve five percent. If we push, I’m confident that six to seven percent won’t be difficult,” he said.
In its first three months of operation, Danantara targets to channel investments of USD 10 billion, with an orientation towards sustainable projects and global cooperation that strengthens Indonesia’s position in the international economic network.
The establishment of Danantara underscores the government’s commitment to transforming state asset management toward a more professional and productive model. Through this initiative, state assets will no longer be merely a fiscal burden but instead become a new source of economic strength capable of improving public welfare and strengthening sustainable fiscal growth.
