Jakarta, 8 December 2025 - MUFG Bank, Ltd. (MUFG) and Danantara Indonesia jointly hosted "Indonesia Day" in Tokyo, a dedicated platform to promote and deepen Indonesia-Japan investment cooperation and channel capital into Indonesia's long-term national development priorities. Last Thursday's event (Dec 4) gathered a delegation of senior leaders from Danantara Indonesia and key Indonesian state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in Tokyo to meet, network and explore opportunities with Japan's leading institutional and corporate investors across key sectors.
Representatives of Indonesia's leading SOEs including Pertamina, PLN, BNI, Bank Mandiri, Pelindo, and MIND ID were amongst the delegation led by Danantara Indonesia. At the Indonesia Day forum, Danantara Indonesia provided an overview of Indonesia's macro outlook, priority sectors and investment landscape, while representatives of SOEs shared perspectives on their ongoing initiatives. In addition, the event also attracted Japanese investors eager to engage with Danantara Indonesia and Indonesia's SOEs, signalling commitment to fostering enduring collaborations.
Indonesia Day is designed not merely as a forum, but as a strategic bridge connecting Indonesia's development ambitions with Japan's investment community. As a strategic instrument aimed at unlocking Indonesia's economic growth, Danantara Indonesia and its family of SOEs showcased the country's development roadmap and key projects. The dialogue and network formed between the delegation and Japanese investors invited by MUFG will serve as a launchpad for future collaborations and investments, particularly in sectors critical for future growth where Japanese capital and expertise could be valuable - making way for partnerships grounded in shared vision and mutual value. The program featured leadership dialogues, presentations and targeted business-matching sessions.
Nobuya Kawasaki, Managing Executive Officer and Chief Executive for Asia-Pacific of MUFG, said: "Indonesia continues to stand out as one of the most dynamic and resilient economies in the region. Through Indonesia Day, we aim to reaffirm MUFG's commitment to supporting the country's long-term priorities by providing a high-trust channel where Indonesian institutions can present their strategic ambitions and collaborate with Japanese investors who share our long-term mindset."
Pandu Patria Sjahrir, Chief Investment Officer of Danantara Indonesia, said: "Danantara Indonesia's investment focus spans areas aligned with both national priorities and global investor interest. When looking for global partners, we emphasise delivery, impact, and integrity, building trust to attract long-term capital and strengthen Indonesia's position as an economic powerhouse. Events like today allow us to better articulate our strategy and ensure that global partners gain a clear understanding of Indonesia's potential."
