Danantara Partners with Global Institutions to Accelerate Indonesia’s Green and Digital Economy
Jakarta – The Indonesian Investment Management Agency Daya Anagata Nusantara (Danantara) has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting national economic growth through strategic cooperation with global entities. One concrete step taken is to collaborate with the US International Development Finance Corporation (USDFC), to encourage sustainable development, especially in the energy transition and digital transformation sectors.
In a meeting held at the Indonesian Embassy in Washington DC, United States, CEO of Danantara Indonesia, Rosan Roeslani, had an audience with Chief of Staff and Head of Investments USDFC, Conor Coleman. The discussion focused on international funding opportunities for national priority projects.
This collaboration is seen as important in opening up Indonesia’s access to impact-based financing schemes (impact investment) which are currently trending globally.
“We see Indonesia has great potential in the development of green and digital economy. Solid partnerships will open wider opportunities for innovative financing schemes that have a direct impact on sustainable development,” said Conor Coleman.
Danantara’s move is in line with the government’s enthusiasm to take advantage of global opportunities to strengthen the domestic economy. In fact, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has on various occasions conveyed the importance of international cooperation in encouraging inclusive and sustainable economic transformation.
On the other hand, domestic support continues to flow. Deputy Chairman of Commission XI of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Fauzi Amro, expressed his appreciation for Danantara’s steps in optimizing the management of state assets, including BLBI and Land Bank confiscated assets.
“This is a strategic step to accelerate the optimization of state assets that have been idle or have not provided significant added value to the state,” he said.
Fauzi emphasized that asset management by Danantara must prioritize the principles of good governance.
“This is important because it concerns state assets, so the valuation, transfer, and utilization processes must be transparent and legally and publicly accountable,” he continued.
He also hopes that synergy between institutions will be maintained so that there is no overlapping authority between Danantara and agencies such as the Ministry of Finance, BPN, and the BLBI Task Force.
“Land use must consider the interests of the community and not be solely commercialized. There must be an inclusive socio-economic impact for the people,” he said.***
