ASIATODAY.ID, JAKARTA – Indonesia’s state investment management agency, Daya Anagata Nusantara (Danantara Indonesia), is targeting a massive USD 5 billion investment—equivalent to approximately IDR 81.54 trillion (based on an exchange rate of IDR 16,309 per USD)—for the year 2025.
The investment will focus on eight strategic sectors deemed vital to the nation’s economic growth.
During the National Symposium on Sumitronomics and Indonesia’s Economic Outlook in Jakarta, on Saturday, June 7, 2025, Danantara Managing Director Arief Budiman revealed that the investment would be rolled out within the remaining 6 to 9 months of the year.
“We are aiming to deploy around USD 5 billion in investment in 2025, and we expect to realize this within a fairly short timeframe,” said Arief.
Arief stated that Danantara’s funding will be directed toward the following eight priority sectors: (1) Minerals and Downstream Processing, (2) Renewable Energy, (3) Digital Infrastructure, (4) Healthcare Services, (5) Financial Services, (6) Infrastructure Utilities, (7) Industrial Zones and (8) Food and Agriculture.
These sectors were chosen based on their economic impact, potential return on investment, and long-term strategic value for national development.
“Our focus in financial services isn’t about investing in banks per se, but about developing instruments that can deepen the financial markets,” Arief explained.
Arief emphasized the importance of investment as a pillar of economic growth, noting that in 2024, investment contributed around 29% to Indonesia’s GDP. Danantara’s role, he said, will be increasingly critical in driving that momentum forward.
Danantara currently operates through two main units—an operational holding and an investment holding—overseeing more than 50 state-owned enterprises (SOEs) across 12 different economic sectors.
In 2025, Danantara is expected to receive around IDR 120 trillion in dividends from its portfolio of SOEs. These funds will be reinvested to generate greater value in strategic sectors.
“Our goal is to manage and reinvest this IDR 120 trillion in dividends to maximize value creation and support national development,” said Arief.
Strategic Partnerships and Commitment to Transparency
Beyond managing dividends, Danantara is also focused on attracting co-investments with global partners—not only in terms of capital, but also in expertise, innovation, and technology transfer. This approach aligns with the economic vision of Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, which emphasizes the consolidation and optimization of SOE assets to generate national prosperity.
According to Arief, this vision involves innovation, investment in technology, and human capital development to ensure Indonesia becomes a proactive driver of sustainable growth.
Danantara Chairman Rosan Roeslani also reiterated the agency’s commitment to transparency and accountability, following directives from President Prabowo Subianto. He noted that several of Danantara’s strategic projects have already undergone thorough due diligence and are in the final stages of preparation before execution.
“Transparency is key. We are fully committed to ensuring that every investment is made through proper and comprehensive processes in accordance with existing regulations,” said Rosan, as quoted in an official statement from the Presidential Secretariat on Wednesday, May 21, 2025. (AT Network)
