Danantara CEO Rosan Roeslani Seeks Strategic Investment to Create Jobs Amid Demographic Bonus
JAKARTA — Danantara CEO Rosan Roeslani has assured that his organisation is seeking strategic investment to provide new jobs, responding to the challenge of a demographic bonus with two million babies born every year in Indonesia.
"Because this is a challenge for Indonesia, how can we create more jobs. And creating jobs is a top priority in Indonesia," said Rosan at the 2025 International Conference on Infrastructure (ICI) held by the Coordinating Ministry for Regional Infrastructure and Development in Jakarta on Friday, 13 June.
Rosan expressed his hope that Danantara will become a magnet for global investors to invest in Indonesia, particularly in infrastructure projects and downstream industries, which can then create high-quality jobs for the younger generation.
He highlighted the demographic challenges, where two million babies are born every year, demanding the creation of job opportunities on an ongoing basis as a top priority for inclusive and productive long-term development.
Rosan explained his dual role as Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM, as well as CEO of Danantara, a new agency that manages assets of more than US$900 billion across various national strategic sectors.
He said that all state-owned enterprises (SOEs), which are now under the control of Danantara, will be optimised to create added value through consolidation, privatisation, and close collaboration with domestic and foreign private business actors.
Rosan emphasised that it is impossible to build all major projects alone, making private involvement an important key to working on various national economic potentials.
He said that Danantara currently oversees 50 SOEs and 889 subsidiaries, all of which are directed to generate maximum economic value through efficiency, innovation, and cross-border strategic partnerships.
He also expressed appreciation for Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, noting that Danantara can now manage its own dividends, thereby strengthening fiscal flexibility in financing the national priority investment programme, which has a direct impact on employment.
"Thank you so that we can open investment in Indonesia in various sectors. And we hope that there will be more high-quality jobs in Indonesia," added Rosan.
Through Danantara, Rosan is opening opportunities for investment with international partners in various sectors, with the belief that this collaboration will bring mutual profit and accelerate national economic growth.
