Bank Mandiri Reinforces Commitment to Supporting National Education Equity
Danantara Indonesia marked one year of its establishment with a reflection event 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 leaders and all members of Danantara.
On this occasion, President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, provided guidance to all Danantara members regarding the importance of maintaining integrity, disciplinary governance, and a long-term orientation in managing state assets to strengthen the foundation of national economic development.
The President emphasised that Danantara Indonesia was formed to ensure that state asset management is carried out professionally and oriented towards the long-term interests of the nation, thereby providing tangible added value for national development and public welfare.
“We are grateful that Indonesia now has a state investment management institution that can be compared to global sovereign wealth funds. In this one year, it has already been evident that with good management, disciplined governance, and strong commitment, the performance of state asset management can improve significantly. However, this achievement is just the beginning. Moving forward, we must continue to strengthen governance and enhance performance so that state asset management truly provides the maximum benefit for the Indonesian people,” said Prabowo, quoted on Wednesday (18/3/2026).
This one-year thanksgiving carried the theme “One Danantara”, which reflects the spirit of all state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to move in unison to strengthen the national economic foundation and create broader impacts for future generations.
CEO of Danantara Indonesia, Rosan Roeslani, stated that the first year of Danantara’s journey focused on building strong institutional foundations and governance, while ensuring that the direction of state investment management remains grounded in creating long-term benefits for society.
“State asset management must ultimately provide real impacts for the nation’s future. Therefore, commitment to building the future generation is also an important part of Danantara Indonesia’s journey,” he said.
This commitment is reflected not only in strengthening governance and the structure of state asset management but also in various initiatives that affirm that development outcomes must provide tangible benefits for society, including for Indonesia’s young generation.
As a symbol of commitment to the future of the nation’s children, on this occasion, a symbolic handover of 88,000 school supply kits for children across Indonesia was also conducted. This programme was implemented simultaneously by SOEs in various regions as a form of support for education access and preparation for Indonesia’s Golden Generation.
Meanwhile, Bank Mandiri President Director Riduan said that as a strategic partner of the government in promoting equitable access to education and improving the quality of national human resources, Bank Mandiri actively participated in the initiative by distributing 6,000 school supply kits to children in several regions.
“This support is part of Bank Mandiri’s ongoing commitment to strengthening the educational foundation for the young generation while ensuring that Indonesian children have adequate learning facilities to achieve a better future, and affirming the company’s role as part of Danantara in delivering tangible contributions that directly impact society,” he said.
Through this milestone of its first year, Danantara Indonesia reaffirmed its commitment to continue strengthening governance foundations, improving the quality of state asset management, and promoting strategic investments that provide long-term economic and social impacts for Indonesia.
“The first year is the phase of building foundations. Moving forward, our focus is to ensure that these foundations are translated into real performance, through strong governance, professional state asset management, and strategic investments that benefit the national economy and the future of Indonesia’s generation,” Rosan concluded.
