Jakarta – The Danantara Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara) has reaffirmed its commitment to recruiting the best human resources for its operations. Head of BPI Danantara, Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, revealed that President Prabowo Subianto has strictly prohibited any political appointees within the Danantara team.
“The President instructed us, ‘Select only the best individuals for the Danantara team. There should be no political placements. Choose the best.’ Not just from Indonesia, but also consider the best talents globally as potential candidates,” said Rosan.
As a national investment institution, Danantara plays a strategic role in boosting Indonesia’s economy and creating job opportunities. To ensure this, the recruitment process is conducted professionally, involving multiple stakeholders.
“We are assisted by both local and international headhunters and advisors, and we also report our selections to the President,” he added. He also stated that the names of the individuals joining Danantara will be announced soon.
“You can expect that the people managing Danantara will be reputable individuals with proven track records, integrity, and expertise in their respective fields. That is what we have reported,” Rosan explained.
“We have also provided their CVs because these must be reputable names with high integrity. That’s what we are ensuring. God willing, we will announce these names to the media next week,” he stated.
Meanwhile, the presence of a gold bank (bullion bank) under the business operations of PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Tbk. (BSI) is expected to strengthen the Islamic banking ecosystem in Indonesia. Head of the Center for Islamic Economics and Business (PEBS) at the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Indonesia (FEB UI), Rahmatina Awaliah Kasri, Ph.D., believes that this gold bank service is an important innovation in the Islamic banking sector.
“The introduction of gold banking services at BSI has the potential to enhance the competitiveness of Islamic banking, as it represents a unique product innovation aligned with Sharia principles,” she stated. According to her, this service allows for product diversification and attracts more customers to invest in gold.
“Gold has long been a culturally accepted investment instrument among Indonesians. Moreover, the bullion business can strengthen liquidity and stabilize Sharia-based assets,” Rahmatina added.
