        "summary": "PT Permodalan Nasional Madani (PNM), in collaboration with Danantara, is reinforcing its governance to broaden financing and empowerment for 23.1 million underprivileged women entrepreneurs. The state-owned enterprise aims to enhance service quality, transparency, and accountability, particularly in remote regions. This initiative is viewed as a critical step towards more equitable financial inclusion and strengthening the grassroots economy.",
        "content": "<p>The governance strengthening undertaken by PT Permodalan Nasional\nMadani (PNM) together with Danantara is considered crucial capital for\nexpanding financing access and empowerment for underprivileged\ncommunities, particularly women engaged in ultra-micro enterprises. To\ndate, PNM has served 23.1 million customers across Indonesia. This\nachievement positions PNM as one of the world\u2019s largest empowerment and\nfinancing institutions for underprivileged women. The governance\nreinforcement not only impacts the institutional aspect but also drives\nimprovements in service quality, accountability, and the effectiveness\nof financing distribution to community groups previously unreached by\nformal financial services. Since joining the Danantara ecosystem, the\npresentation of company information has also been strengthened through a\nmore data-driven approach based on real conditions in the field. This\nstep is deemed important to ensure the company\u2019s management operates\ntransparently and sustainably. PNM President Director Kindaris stated\nthat Danantara\u2019s support is an integral part of strengthening the\ncompany\u2019s efforts to deliver empowerment programmes that have a greater\nimpact on the community. \u201cFor us, growth is not merely about numbers,\nbut about more underprivileged women having the opportunity to rise, do\nbusiness, and improve their families\u2019 lives,\u201d Kindaris said in a\nstatement on Tuesday (23\/6\/2026). According to him, the governance\nstrengthening carried out by the company must be directly proportional\nto the improvement in the quality of financing distribution and business\nmentoring for customers. Thus, the programme\u2019s benefits do not stop at\ncapital access but also encourage increased business capacity and family\nwelfare. Meanwhile, Danantara Chief Operating Officer and Head of the\nState-Owned Enterprise Management Agency Dony Oskaria appreciated the\nperformance improvement of several SOEs, including PNM, which is\nconsidered capable of exceeding set targets. According to Dony, this\nperformance improvement aligns with the commitment to strengthen\ntransparency and accountability within the SOE environment. PNM also\ncontinues to expand its service reach to underdeveloped, frontier, and\noutermost (3T) regions. This step is taken to reach women ultra-micro\nentrepreneurs who have long faced limited access to banking and formal\nfinancing services. Kindaris emphasised that this service expansion is\npart of the company\u2019s commitment to narrowing the financing access gap\nbetween urban communities and remote areas. \u201cTogether with Danantara,\nPNM wants to ensure that empowerment benefits are delivered with better\ngovernance, higher quality distribution, and a spirit that remains close\nto the community. So that there is no longer a gap in financing and\nempowerment access for those living in urban areas or at the edges of\nIndonesia,\u201d said Kindaris. The governance strengthening and service\nexpansion are considered important factors in promoting more equitable\nfinancial inclusion while simultaneously strengthening the grassroots\neconomy through the empowerment of women ultra-micro entrepreneurs in\nvarious regions.<\/p>",
