One Year of Danantara Indonesia: Strengthening the Foundation of National Economic Transformation

Jakarta, March 11, 2026 - Danantara Indonesia marked the first anniversary of its institutional journey with a reflection session held at Wisma Danantara, Jakarta, on Tuesday (11/3). The event was attended by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Cabinet Ministers, as well as the leadership and staff members of Danantara.

On the occasion, the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, briefed Danantara Indonesia's personnel on the importance of maintaining integrity, disciplined governance, and a long-term orientation in managing state assets to strengthen the foundation of national economic development.

"We are grateful that Indonesia now has a state investment management agency that is on a par with global sovereign wealth funds. In the first year, it became evident that with sound management, disciplined governance, and strong commitment, state asset management performance improved significantly. However, this achievement is only the beginning. Moving forward, we must continue to strengthen governance and improve performance so that the management of state assets truly delivers maximum benefits for the Indonesian people," said the President.

The theme of the first anniversary is "One Danantara", reflecting the spirit of all state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to move forward as one to strengthen the foundation of the national economy and create broader impact for society.

Danantara Indonesia CEO Rosan Roeslani reinforced that the first year of Danantara Indonesia's journey focused on building institutional and governance foundations while spearheading various strategic initiatives that serve as the basis for transforming state asset management. "This first year has been a year of building foundations. We have established strong governance, strengthened our institutional structure, and initiated various strategic initiatives that will serve as the foundation for creating long-term value for Indonesia," he said.

Governance and Institutional Foundations through BPI Danantara

As a parent entity mandated to manage strategic state assets, BPI Danantara focused its first year on building a strong institutional governance foundation.

Throughout 2025, BPI Danantara formulated more than 27 governance policies that are aligned with prevailing laws and regulations to ensure that the management of state assets is conducted in a transparent, accountable, and professional manner.

In supporting the stability and strengthening the fundamentals of state enterprises, Danantara Indonesia also contributed to the implementation of several government priority programs, including the Merah Putih Village/Subdistrict Cooperatives initiative, the Free Nutritious Meals program, and the development of public housing while also creating opportunities for job creation.

BPI Danantara also strengthened its social impact dimension through the establishment of the Danantara Indonesia Trust Fund in October 2025. This initiative is designed as a philanthropy platform of the sovereign wealth fund that promotes social investment in priority sectors such as education, healthcare, as well as water and sanitation.

As part of the development of a global ecosystem, Danantara initiated the SWF Philanthropy Learning Lab together with various international institutions to strengthen best practices in the management of long-term social funds.

The strengthening of Danantara's institutional foundation is further reflected in public perception, with approximately 93 percent of media coverage regarding Danantara Indonesia carrying positive sentiment, indicating a growing trust in the transformation currently underway.

Transformation and Value Creation through Danantara Asset Management ("DAM")

Through Danantara Asset Management ("DAM"), Danantara Indonesia carries out the mandate to manage and transform the portfolios of state-owned enterprises ("SOEs"), with a focus on business and financial restructuring, portfolio streamlining and consolidation, as well as business development in strategic sectors. These efforts aim to build companies within the Danantara Indonesia ecosystem that are more adaptive, competitive, and capable of creating sustainable economic value while delivering tangible social contributions to the national economy.

As part of a comprehensive restructuring of the SOE portfolio, DAM is implementing a gradual streamlining process through various strategic measures, including liquidation, mergers, and divestments of entities that are no longer considered priorities. This process is carried out with a strong emphasis on governance principles, portfolio discipline, and a performance-based approach to ensure that each SOE entity has a clear strategic role within the national economic ecosystem. These measures are also intended to create a more efficient and focused SOE structure with stronger and more sustainable business foundations.

In terms of national industrial development, Danantara Indonesia, through DAM, is also advancing various cross-sector downstream initiatives with a potential investment value of approximately USD26 billion, which are expected to expand industrial capacity. A number of projects have already entered the construction phase as of February 2026, including an alumina and bauxite processing facility, the development of bioavtur and bioethanol plants, an integrated poultry industry, as well as an industrial salt processing facility. Similar initiatives will also be taken across the mineral, energy, food, and agriculture sectors in various regions of Indonesia as part of efforts to strengthen the national industrial value chain and create sustainable, real economic value.

Through these initiatives, DAM serves as a key driver of SOE portfolio transformation, aimed at building enterprises that are healthier, more productive, and capable of becoming pillars of long-term national economic growth.

Strengthening Investment and Global Partnerships through Danantara Investment Management ("DIM")

Meanwhile, Danantara Investment Management ("DIM") serves as Danantara's global investment arm, responsible for attracting strategic investments and expanding international partnerships.

In its first year of operations, DIM has established 11 global strategic partnerships through various MoUs, with investment commitments reaching approximately IDR346 trillion, aimed at channeling foreign investment and global expertise into priority sectors in Indonesia.

DIM has also expanded national investment capacity by creating an additional financing capacity of around IDR150 trillion through a combination of financial instruments, including loans, equity participation, the issuance of patriot bonds, as well as a revolving credit facility (RCF) from global financial institutions.

In addition, DIM has initiated several strategic investment projects, including participation in the development of the Hajj Complex project in Mecca, which is expected to strengthen the global halal ecosystem while generating economic multiplier effects for Indonesia.

Moreover, DIM is promoting investments in various national development projects, including co-investment in Waste-to-Energy facilities, which are projected to contribute approximately IDR1.3-1.6 trillion per year to the national economy during the construction period.

Economic Foundation for Future Generations

Overall, these initiatives reflect Danantara Indonesia's primary focus during its first year of operations: building a strong institutional foundation, strengthening governance, and establishing a more integrated state asset management structure orientated toward long-term value creation.

The theme "One Danantara" chosen for the first anniversary underscores the commitment of all SOEs to move together in one direction of national development, with the aim of strengthening the economic foundation that delivers tangible benefits for Indonesia's future generations.

As a token of commitment to the future of the nation's children, the occasion also marked the symbolic handover of 88,000 school supply packages for children across Indonesia. The program was implemented simultaneously by SOEs across various regions to improve access to education and prepare Indonesia's Golden Generation.

The school supply packages, consisting of school bags, notebooks, pencil cases, stationery, rulers, and tumblers, were distributed to children across various provinces in Indonesia.

Using the momentum of its first anniversary, Danantara Indonesia reaffirms its commitment to continue strengthening its governance foundation, enhance the quality of state asset management, and drive strategic investments that generate long-term economic and social impact for Indonesia.

"This first year has been a phase of building foundations. Moving forward, our focus is to ensure that these foundations translate into tangible performance through strong governance, professional management of state assets, and strategic investments that deliver benefits to the national economy and the future of Indonesia's generations," Rosan concluded.
