Danantara Attracts Interest from Foreign Investors

Jakarta – Qatar has further solidified its commitment to supporting Indonesia’s economic growth by pledging an investment of approximately IDR 33 trillion (USD 2 billion). This partnership is being realized through the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Authority (BPI Danantara).
CEO of Danantara Indonesia, Rosan Roeslani, welcomed the collaboration and affirmed the institution’s full readiness to manage the fund professionally.
“We greatly appreciate the trust extended by the Qatari government through the establishment of this joint fund. Danantara Indonesia is committed to fulfilling this mandate by implementing prudent, transparent, and results-oriented investment governance. Our focus is to ensure that every funded project delivers strategic and sustainable impact on the national economy,” Rosan stated.
He added that this collaboration reflects international confidence in Indonesia’s institutional capacity to manage large-scale investments.
“This partnership represents a concrete step in building trust with global strategic partners like Qatar. It shows that Indonesia is not only a destination for investment, but also has the institutional strength to manage funds in a professional and accountable manner,” he continued.
Rosan expressed hope that this co-investment initiative would not only strengthen diplomatic ties between the two countries, but also bring tangible benefits to accelerate Indonesia’s economic development and enhance the well-being of its people.
Meanwhile, Capital Market Analyst and Founder of Stocknow.id, Hendra Wardana, commented that Qatar’s USD 2 billion investment commitment could play a significant role in strengthening Indonesia’s financial stability.
“With substantial funding and strong political backing, Danantara is expected to help cushion market volatility, bolster investor confidence, and support economic growth through measured long-term investment strategies,” said Hendra.
He also emphasized Danantara’s potential to counterbalance the dominance of foreign investors, who have historically played a major role in steering market movements, especially in blue-chip stocks.
“While Danantara may not yet fully replace the influence of foreign investors, it can act as a market stabilizer during heavy foreign sell-offs, helping to maintain market resilience,” Hendra explained.
With this investment in place, Indonesia is poised to enhance its global economic standing and boost competitiveness. The initiative also symbolizes a mutually beneficial collaboration between Indonesia and Qatar, paving the way for expanded opportunities and stronger ties between the two nations in the future.
