Danantara CEO Claims High Global Investor Confidence in Indonesia
CEO Danantara Indonesia, Rosan Roeslani, has stated that global investor confidence in Indonesia remains robust and high. Rosan said this signal is reflected in the high international investor interest in Danantara Indonesia’s inaugural US dollar-denominated global bond issuance, which was oversubscribed by more than three times.
“I convey that market confidence, the outside world’s confidence in Indonesia, is very good. This is reflected in their willingness to buy Danantara global bonds with tenors of five years and 10 years, and they even told me they are very open if Danantara wants to issue bonds with a tenor of up to 30 years,” Rosan said in a written statement in Jakarta on Tuesday (16/6/2026).
Rosan stated that Danantara initially targeted raising USD 1 billion through the global bond issuance. However, after conducting a series of roadshows to several global financial centres, investor demand reached USD 4.6 billion.
“From the planned USD 1 billion we wanted to achieve, the book building that came in was approximately USD 4.6 billion. So, we eventually increased the issuance to USD 1.5 billion,” Rosan said.
According to Rosan, the high investor demand is a strong indicator that the international market still places great confidence in Indonesia’s economic prospects. This is especially significant as the bond issuance took place amid global economic uncertainty, rising geopolitical tensions, and pressures that had previously affected the domestic financial market.
“This is a very good result and it also proves that investor confidence in Indonesia is high. And this is real,” Rosan claimed.
Rosan, who also serves as Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry, added that the funds raised from the bond issuance are divided into five-year and 10-year tenors, each valued at USD 750 million.
Interestingly, Rosan noted, the coupon rates obtained were below initial market expectations. The five-year bond was set with a yield of 5.35 percent, while the 10-year bond was set at 5.95 percent.
Rosan explained that several parties had previously estimated Danantara would need to offer higher yields to attract investors. However, the high market interest actually allowed the company to secure competitive interest rates.
“If they didn’t trust us, they would certainly have demanded a very high yield premium. They didn’t ask for that; in fact, we see the yields are very competitive,” he said.
Furthermore, Rosan added that investor confidence is also reflected in the composition of buyers, which was dominated by investors from the United States and Europe. For the five-year tenor bonds, 38 percent of investors came from the United States, 41 percent from Europe and the Middle East, and 21 percent from Asia. Meanwhile, for the 10-year tenor, US investors dominated with a 52 percent share, followed by Europe and the Middle East at 31 percent, and Asia at 17 percent.
According to Rosan, this condition differs from the historical trend of Indonesian bond issuances, which are generally more sought after by Asian investors.
“The largest interest actually came from the United States. This shows that global market confidence in Indonesia is very good,” Rosan said.
With demand reaching USD 4.6 billion, competitive yield levels, and high participation from US and European investors, Danantara’s inaugural global bond issuance serves as a signal that Indonesia’s access to international funding remains strong amid global economic challenges that have yet to fully subside.
