JAKARTA — President of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, has emphasized that the management of the Danantara Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara) is composed of experts and professionals.
There is no room for political appointees or individuals placed based on personal interests in the management of this strategic institution.
The CEO of BPI Danantara, Rosan Roeslani, confirmed that the selection process for the executive team and management was conducted with the involvement of advisors and professional recruiters (headhunting firms).
Rosan assured that the appointed board members have solid track records, expertise in their respective fields, and no involvement in corruption cases.
“The public can see and assess that Danantara is managed by reputable individuals,” said Rosan.
Rosan added that the list of candidates had been reported to President Prabowo Subianto.
Prabowo instructed that the selection process must be rigorous to ensure that no individual is appointed based on vested interests.

Anggawira also highlighted the necessity of high-level experience and competence in state asset management.
According to him, only individuals with extensive expertise in investment and asset management deserve to hold strategic positions in Danantara.
