Chief Operating Officer of BPI Danantara, Dony Oskaria, stated that\nhe has discussed with Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa regarding\nthe plan to transfer the management of PT Permodalan Nasional Madani\n(PNM). \u201cI also spoke with Mr Purbaya about the mechanisms, risks, and\nhow it will be managed going forward,\u201d Dony said at the DPR building in\nSenayan on Wednesday, 8 April 2026.<\/p>\n
PNM is a subsidiary of PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, which\nis currently a member of Danantara Indonesia. Minister Purbaya has asked\nthe DPR\u2019s Commission XI to support the plan to take over PNM as a\nsubsidiary of one of the Ministry of Finance\u2019s Special Mission Vehicles\n(SMVs).<\/p>\n
In the meeting with the state treasurer, Dony said that Danantara\nalso discussed the funding for PNM if it is managed by the Ministry of\nFinance. This is because PNM\u2019s funding has so far come from banking\nsources.<\/p>\n
He is confident that Purbaya will calculate the amount of funding\nthat needs to be placed in PNM if it operates under the Ministry of\nFinance, given the relatively large number of service users. \u201cThis is\nbeing calculated. So in principle, we are the same. Between me and Mr\nPurbaya, we agree in principle. We are calculating the technicalities;\nwe don\u2019t want to rush,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The plan for Purbaya to take over PNM emerged during a working\nmeeting with the DPR\u2019s Commission IX on Monday, 6 April 2026. \u201cI am\nproposing to Danantara to give PNM to us. Give PNM Madani to us, then we\nwill make PNM the distributor of People\u2019s Business Credit,\u201d Purbaya\nsaid, as quoted from Antara.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, he explained that the plan to acquire PNM is proposed as\none solution to smooth the distribution of people\u2019s business credit\n(KUR). According to Purbaya, there are many reports from UMKM actors who\nhave difficulty accessing these low-cost credit services.<\/p>\n
Purbaya also highlighted the high costs involved in distributing KUR\nthrough banks. \u201cIf KUR goes through banks, we pay interest up to 18\npercent. The money disappears (is used to pay interest), around Rp 40\ntrillion every year.\u201d<\/p>\n
If KUR is distributed through PNM as a subsidiary of one of the\nMinistry of Finance\u2019s SMVs, the Rp 40 trillion in funds could be used as\ncapital to transform the SOE into an SME bank. Purbaya hopes to turn PNM\ninto a large bank with Rp 200 trillion in capital within five years.<\/p>\n
In addition to a dedicated bank, Purbaya stated that the Ministry of\nFinance plans to build an integrated UMKM development ecosystem equipped\nwith advisory teams, marketing teams, training facilities, and credit\nguarantee institutions. He said that this proposal has also been\nconveyed to President Prabowo Subianto and has received signals of\nsupport.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Purbaya stated that the Ministry of Finance will\ncontinue to refine the plan and discuss it with Danantara to find the\nbest path. \u201cIf supported by Commission XI, we will execute it,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/danantara-discusses-pnm-takeover-with-purbaya-1775656333", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
