Danantara Plays Key Role in Driving National Economic Growth
JAKARTA – The Nusantara Asset Management Agency (Danantara Indonesia) reaffirmed its commitment to being a driving force of national economic growth. Managing assets worth IDR 14,000 trillion (nearly USD 1 trillion), Danantara is optimistic it can help boost Indonesia’s economic growth to 7 percent.
Danantara Indonesia’s Chief Economist, Reza Yamora Siregar, stated that the value of assets under management represents around 80 percent of Indonesia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). He emphasized that the institution already has a long-term business roadmap to achieve this ambitious target.
“If we manage this well, God willing, we can achieve our 2045 target,” he said as quoted by Antara.
To realize this vision, Danantara plans to target investments in strategic sectors such as minerals and natural resources, energy, food security, healthcare, insurance, and pensions. Reza also highlighted that Danantara has become a magnet for many foreign investors.
“Indonesia is receiving many potential investors—China, Japan, and the European Union are showing strong interest in entering our industries. From the investment perspective, I see tremendous potential,” he said.
He expressed confidence that efforts made by Danantara could enable Indonesia to achieve economic growth in the range of 6–7 percent.
“I’m confident that 6–7% growth is not difficult,” he affirmed.
In line with this, Chairman of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) Commission XI, Mukhamad Misbakhun, noted that Danantara’s acceleration of investment and downstream industrialization in various strategic sectors would create a multiplier effect on the national economy.
“Danantara can serve as the driving engine for investment in priority sectors such as energy, food security, and fisheries,” he said.
He stressed that Danantara has wide room to maneuver in advancing downstream industries while strengthening economic growth components, particularly Gross Fixed Capital Formation (PMTB), a key indicator of national investment.
Meanwhile, Danantara Indonesia’s CEO—who also serves as Minister of Investment and Downstreaming—Rosan Roeslani, underlined the importance of the capital market in supporting economic growth. According to him, a strong capital market ecosystem can provide sustainable financing for strategic sectors.
“Danantara Indonesia believes that a strong and inclusive capital market ecosystem is the key to building a sustainable economy,” he said.
Rosan added that the institution is ready to contribute to strengthening the capital market to create long-term value that benefits both the people and the nation.
“This momentum is the right time to enhance synergy between market players, regulators, and the government,” he explained.
With its vast mandate and capacity, Danantara Indonesia is expected to become the locomotive of national economic growth, strengthen structural reforms, and build a robust, sustainable investment ecosystem that delivers direct benefits to public welfare.
