Jakarta – The government’s ongoing transformation of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) is considered to have had a positive impact on the efficiency of state-owned enterprise management. Various steps to improve governance, digitize services, consolidate businesses, and increase transparency are considered successful in improving the performance of state-owned enterprises while generating state coffers saving trillions of rupiah.
Dony Oskaria, Head of the SOE Regulatory Agency (BP BUMN) and COO of Danantara, believes that the SOE transformation aims to create healthier, more professional companies capable of competing globally.
According to him, various efficiency policies and governance improvements implemented in recent years have succeeded in increasing productivity while reducing various wastes that previously burdened state-owned enterprises.
“The SOE transformation aims to create companies that are stronger, more transparent, and make optimal contributions to the state and society,” he said.
He explained that one of the main focuses of the transformation is simplifying business processes and utilizing digital technology in company operations. These steps enable faster and more efficient decision-making and significantly reduce operational costs.
Furthermore, the consolidation of several companies with similar business fields is also considered successful in eliminating overlapping functions and increasing the effectiveness of state asset management.
Rosan Roeslani, CEO of the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (Danantara), assessed that the successful transformation of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) is a positive signal for the national investment climate. Healthier and more efficient state-owned enterprises will have greater capacity to carry out national strategic projects, expand investment, and create added value for the economy.
