Jakarta – The Investment Management Agency Daya Anagata Nusantara (BPI Danantara) is strengthening its collaboration with the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN). This strategic partnership is aimed at accelerating inclusive and sustainable national economic development, while supporting key government programs.
BPI Danantara’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), Dony Oskaria, emphasized the importance of cooperation between Danantara and KADIN as two major forces that complement each other within Indonesia’s economic development ecosystem. According to him, this collaboration will bolster Indonesia’s position in the global economy.
“Danantara needs KADIN and KADIN needs Danantara. We need each other to advance the nation’s economy and elevate Indonesia on the global stage,” said Dony.
Chairman of KADIN Indonesia, Anindya Bakrie, stressed that this synergy is not only important from a business perspective, but also crucial to support the implementation of various government programs, including the Free Nutritious Meals Program (MBG), People’s Business Credit (KUR), public housing provision, toll road infrastructure, and the strengthening of national food and energy security.
“The legitimacy of this cooperation between Danantara and the business community is marked by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Danantara and KADIN,” Anindya explained.
He expressed hopes that the MoU to strengthen collaboration would be finalized by the end of May 2025.
“We hope that before the end of May, the MoU to enhance our collaboration with Danantara can be realized,” he added.
This partnership has also received full support from regulators. Head Executive of Financial Sector Technology Innovation, Digital Financial Assets, and Crypto Assets Supervision at Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK), Hasan Fawzi, praised Danantara’s proactive approach in exploring investment models grounded in legal clarity and economic sustainability.
Hasan noted that Danantara is currently exploring innovative funding models based on tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). This scheme allows physical assets such as infrastructure, property, and agricultural commodities to be represented in digital form and traded, while still backed by clear underlying assets and measurable economic value.
“OJK will continue to assist and actively support financial institutions exploring digital finance innovation, including Danantara,” Hasan stated.
Nonetheless, Hasan reminded stakeholders of the importance of upholding prudential principles and consumer protection.
“Once again, this must be done while prioritizing the principles of safeguarding the stability of the national financial system, mitigating risks, upholding good market conduct, and protecting the interests of consumers and the public,” he emphasized.
As an investment management body, Danantara holds a strategic mandate to create innovative financing solutions that reach the government’s priority sectors. On the other hand, KADIN Indonesia, representing the business community, provides direct access to industry players across sectors that serve as key drivers of the national economy.
The partnership between Danantara and KADIN is expected to become an ideal model of public-private cooperation in developing inclusive economic solutions that are adaptable to global dynamics. With progressive policy support and an innovative investment approach, this synergy is anticipated to become a driving force behind Indonesia’s future economic growth.
This collaboration also reflects the spirit of gotong royong—mutual cooperation—between the state and the business sector in addressing increasingly complex development challenges. Amidst global geopolitical dynamics and digital economic transformation, the partnership between Danantara and KADIN represents a concrete step in accelerating equitable growth, creating jobs, and expanding financing access to strategic sectors and the wider community.
