Jakarta – Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Mahendra Siregar said that the distribution of dividends from State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) to Danantara had been carried out transparently and with good governance.
According to Mahendra, OJK does not specifically regulate the amount of dividends distributed or the dividend ratio for financial services institutions, including BUMN.
Mahendra Siregar said that dividend distribution carried out by BUMN must implement good governance, including prioritizing transparency aspects to all stakeholders, including shareholders.
“In the case of the BUMN in question being an issuer and a public company, then the distribution and payment of dividends prioritizes the aspect of transparency and follows the rules applicable in the capital market,” said Mahendra.
According to Mahendra, there are a number of provisions that require banks to have a dividend policy in the form of the amount of dividends distributed and considerations in distributing the dividends.
Then, in the distribution and consideration of dividends, financial services institutions or in this case banks must pay attention to their performance conditions, both for the fulfillment of equity and strengthening capital according to provisions, future strengthening and development plans, and to increase competitiveness.
“Well, all dividend policies are communicated to shareholders. Regarding banking, all of these are provisions in POJK 17 of 2023 concerning the implementation of governance for commercial banks,” said Mahendra.
Previously, Minister of State-Owned Enterprises, Erick Thohir said that his party had approved the appointment of one of the state-owned enterprises to be the Danantara Investment Holding.
The BUMN, whose name has not been disclosed, has been operating in the investment sector, so it was designated as Danantara Investment Holding, aka Danantara Investment Management.
“I have signed. It will be processed, hopefully it will be done in 1-2 weeks,” said Erick.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Investment and Downstreaming and Head of the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara), Rosan Roeslani, said that President Prabowo Subianto directed that all Danantara investments pay attention to the principles of transparency and accountability, both for investments in the downstream sector and clean energy.
“The emphasis is on governance, transparency, openness, and accountability. It is also emphasized that this BUMN will be better and become a driver, especially in terms of job creation,” said Rosan.
The trust built through transparency is believed to support Danantara’s long-term investment growth and increase competitiveness in national and international markets.
With a strong commitment to good governance, Danantara continues to strive to become a trusted investment management body and provide maximum benefits for all stakeholders.
