Jakarta – The Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara) is targeting an investment of US$5 billion or around Rp81.54 trillion (assuming an exchange rate of Rp16,309 per US dollar) for 2025. This ambitious target will be realized within the next six to nine months.
Head of BPI Danantara Rosan Roeslani revealed that President Prabowo has given direction for all investment activities carried out by Danantara to adhere to the principles of transparency and accountability. Several strategic projects of Danantara have gone through a thorough due diligence process and are currently in the final stages before being realized.
“For us, the most important thing is that we have carried out this process correctly, comprehensively and in accordance with existing regulations,” he said.
Meanwhile, Danantara Indonesia Managing Director, Arief Budiman, said that the allocation of funds would be focused on eight priority sectors that are considered strategic for national economic growth.
“Currently, we are looking at 2025, we hope to be able to invest around 5 billion US dollars, in the remaining 6-9 months,” he said.
Arief said that the investment funds would be directed to eight priority sectors, namely minerals (including downstream processes), renewable energy, digital infrastructure, health services, financial services, infrastructure utilities, industrial areas, and the food sector as part of the food and agriculture sector.
The selection of these sectors takes into account various aspects, such as their impact on the national economy, potential return rates , and the potential opportunities they offer.
+ “Financial services are not about investing in banks or in the financial industry, but how we develop instruments to deepen the financial market,” said Arief.
Arief also estimated that Danantara Indonesia will receive dividends of around Rp120 trillion from state-owned companies this year. The funds will be used to drive added value through investment in national strategic sectors.
“The expectation is, from our contribution this year, approximately Rp120 trillion in dividends contributed, how can we increase the value of this dividend contribution which will be managed and reinvested by Danantara,” said Arief.
In addition to managing dividends, Arief explained that Danantara Indonesia also has a role in attracting co -investment, both in the form of funds and expertise and competitiveness that Indonesia currently does not have, but is very much needed to support national development.
“In that process, there is innovation, there is investment in technology, there is human capital, and it is hoped that in doing this we will become a more active driver for development and also for the prosperity of Indonesia together,” added Arief.
On the other hand, BPI Danantara Chief Investment Officer Pandu Sjahrir said Danantara will prioritize the commercialization and return on investment aspects in every project that receives its investment.
“The most important thing for Danantara is the level of return on investment and the commerciality of an activity,” said Pandu.
Danantara’s strategic investment policy reflects President Prabowo’s government’s commitment to directing public funds for sustainable development. With professional management and strong governance principles, Danantara is expected to be a national investment locomotive as well as a trusted partner in realizing the vision of Indonesia Emas 2045.
