Jakarta – Amid evolving social dynamics across various regions, the government has successfully demonstrated that Indonesia’s economic stability remains strong. Recently, the Investment Management Agency of Daya Anagata Nusantara (Danantara) made a remarkable breakthrough by securing funding worth USD 10 billion, equivalent to approximately Rp163 trillion, from 12 foreign banks without collateral—an achievement that reflects global confidence in the government’s economic policies.
Danantara CEO, Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, stated that the funding received signifies international trust in Danantara. He emphasized that the financing was granted without requiring any collateral.
“Alhamdulillah, Danantara gained the trust of 12 banks, securing a loan, and this is the largest revolving facility in Asia given to a Sovereign Wealth Fund,” said Rosan.
In addition to the loan facility, Danantara also secured equity investment commitments amounting to USD 7 billion from several international sovereign wealth funds. These funds include Qatar Investment Authority (USD 4 billion), China Investment Corporation (USD 2 billion), and Russian Direct Investment Fund (amount not specified).
Rosan affirmed that all investments will be managed carefully, transparently, and profit-oriented, while still directly impacting job creation and strengthening the quality of human resources.
At the same occasion, Danantara’s Managing Director of Global Relations and Governance, Mohamad Al-Arief, emphasized that Danantara was established not merely as a fund management institution but as a trusted institution with international management standards.
“We are not just building an institution to manage funds and assets, but also an institution of trust. For that, all processes must reflect the best practices recognized globally,” said Al-Arief.
The political response to this achievement has also been very positive. Member of the Indonesian House of Representatives Commission VI, Kawendra Lukistian, expressed high appreciation during a recent Hearing.
“I want to extend my appreciation, of course, to Danantara and also the SOEs. In the last 4-6 months since Danantara was established, global trust has increasingly become evident,” said Kawendra.
Kawendra added that this momentum was also driven by President Prabowo Subianto’s active economic diplomacy abroad and cross-ministerial synergy. He also encouraged innovative financing, such as the establishment of a deep tech sovereign fund, especially so that creative economy actors can gain access to modern capital that was previously hard to reach.
Danantara’s success comes at a time when the nation faces various demonstrations. Compared to previous years, the government has proven that social crises do not shake the economic foundation. Even as some uncertain parties voiced opposition, the realization of this global funding sends a strong signal that the economic engine continues to run, and the government remains effective in maintaining investor confidence.
While protests call for change, this momentum underscores that sustainable development policies align with the people’s aspirations. Danantara, as a strategic instrument, proves that investment in downstream industries, energy resilience, and industrial innovation continues robustly, unaffected by mere social unrest.
With this revolutionary funding of Rp163 trillion, Danantara is expected to accelerate downstream industry projects worth hundreds of trillions of rupiah, create jobs, and strengthen national economic resilience. This is also a tangible form of the government’s ability to maintain stability while promoting growth.
With this achievement, the government once again demonstrates its strong commitment to realizing an advanced, inclusive, and globally competitive economy. Global trust flows into the country, and now it is time to synergize to maintain momentum for a more prosperous future for Indonesia.
