BTN Emphasises Youth Development to Strengthen Competitiveness and Address Future Challenges

Jakarta – PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk (BTN) participated in Danantara Indonesia’s first anniversary celebration through a reflection meeting held at Wisma Danantara in Jakarta on Tuesday, 11 March. The event was attended by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Cabinet Ministers, and Danantara leadership and personnel.

The first-year celebration was themed “One Danantara”, reflecting the spirit of all state-owned enterprises (SOEs) moving together to strengthen the nation’s economic foundations and create broader impact for future generations.

BTN supported the occasion through various initiatives aimed at strengthening future generations’ foundations. These initiatives were materialised through the “Danantara for Golden Generation” programme, which provided tangible support to Indonesian children through school supply provision as part of long-term investment in human resource development.

BTN Chief Executive Nixon L.P. Napitupulu stated that SOE synergy within the Danantara ecosystem represents important strength for delivering real benefits to society whilst strengthening the foundations of national development.

“Through the Danantara for Golden Generation programme, we want to ensure that development not only generates economic growth but also strengthens the nation’s future foundations. Support for Indonesian children’s education is long-term investment to prepare a generation that is stronger, more competitive, and ready to face future challenges,” Napitupulu said.

Under the programme, BTN distributed 5,500 school supply packages to students from primary schools, junior secondary schools, and special schools in Palu City in Central Sulawesi Province, as well as in Batam and Tanjung Pinang cities in Riau Islands Province. This distribution forms part of a national movement initiated by Danantara Indonesia and SOEs to distribute 88,000 school supply packages, expanding educational access for children across various regions in Indonesia.

Danantara Indonesia Chief Executive Officer Rosan Roeslani noted that the first year of Danantara’s journey focused on establishing strong institutional foundations and governance, whilst ensuring that state investment management remains grounded in creating long-term benefits for society.
