Jakarta Đ The presence of the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (Danantara) is a breath of fresh air in maintaining the stability of the growth of the State-Owned Banks Association (Himbara) while strengthening the national economy.
As the controlling shareholder (PSP) of Himbara banks, Danantara plays an important role in strengthening the capital structure, increasing investment efficiency, and creating synergy between BUMNs to expand contributions to national strategic sectors.
Chief Executive of Banking Supervision of the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Dian Ediana Rae, emphasized that close coordination between OJK and Danantara will continue to be carried out to encourage the creation of an inclusive, transparent, and sustainable financial ecosystem in Indonesia.
“The fundamental financial performance of Himbara banks has grown relatively steadily thanks to the support of sustainable business strategies and strong market share, as well as the significant role of Danantara as the controlling shareholder,” said Dian.
He added, as a public company, Himbara has a responsibility to consistently implement prudential banking principles in order to maintain performance and build positive perceptions from investors.
In line with that, banking observer and payment system practitioner, Arianto Muditomo, stated that the presence of Danantara will bring a number of positive benefits.
ŇWe see a real impact in the form of capital stability for Himbara banks, while opening up wider space for investment expansion and strengthening synergies between BUMNs. This will be an important foundation in maintaining the resilience of the national banking industry,Ó Arianto explained.
Meanwhile, Himbara Chairman Sunarso highlighted the macro impact of investment through Danantara on the national financial system. According to him, significant domestic and foreign investment flows will increase market liquidity, lower funding costs, and encourage healthy credit expansion.
“If directed appropriately to strategic sectors, this will be a stimulus for national economic growth. Not only that, we will see an increase in employment and the competitiveness of the national industry in the long term,” said Sunarso.
The presence of Danantara is real evidence that institutional reform in the management of BUMN can create an investment ecosystem that is more solid, transparent, and has a direct impact on society.
Support from all parties, including the wider community, is needed so that the Danantara program can run optimally. [^]
