Danantara Indonesia marks first year, Pegadaian supports government in strengthening foundation for future generations
Jakarta – Danantara Indonesia marked one year of its institutional journey through a joint reflection activity held at Wisma Danantara, Jakarta, on Tuesday, 11 March.
On this occasion, President Prabowo Subianto provided direction to all personnel of Danantara Indonesia regarding the importance of maintaining integrity, disciplined governance, and long-term orientation in managing state assets to strengthen the foundation of national economic development.
The President emphasised that Danantara Indonesia was established to ensure state asset management is conducted professionally and oriented towards the long-term interests of the nation, thereby capable of 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 with sovereign wealth funds at the global level. In this past year, it is evident that with good management, disciplined governance, and strong commitment, the performance of state asset management has increased significantly. However, this achievement is only the beginning. Going forward, we must continue to strengthen governance and improve performance so that state asset management truly provides the greatest benefit for the Indonesian people,” said Prabowo.
This first anniversary celebration carried the theme “One Danantara”, which reflected the spirit of all state-owned enterprises to move in one unified step in strengthening the foundation of the national economy and creating wider impact 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, whilst ensuring that the direction of state investment management remained grounded in creating long-term benefits for society.
“State asset management ultimately must provide tangible impact for the future of the nation. Therefore, commitment to the development of future generations is also an important part of Danantara Indonesia’s journey,” said Rosan.
This commitment was reflected not only in strengthening governance and the structure of state asset management, but also in various initiatives affirming that development outcomes must provide tangible benefits for society, including for Indonesia’s younger generation.
As a symbol of commitment to the future of Indonesia’s children, a symbolic handover of 88,000 school supply packages for children across Indonesia was also conducted. This programme was carried out simultaneously by state-owned enterprises in various regions as a form of support for education access and preparation of Indonesia’s Golden Generation.
In line with Danantara’s spirit of transformation, PT Pegadaian reinforced its commitment to national development through social initiatives focused on strengthening education access. This was realised through a school supply assistance programme carried out simultaneously with other state-owned enterprises.
In concrete action in South Sulawesi, Pegadaian distributed 2,000 school supply packages reaching students at eight strategic locations, covering Makassar City, Palopo City, Bulukumba Regency, Jeneponto, Pinrang, Wajo, Sinjai, and Gowa Regency. Through close collaboration with schools in the region, Pegadaian ensured assistance was distributed appropriately and provided direct impact for students.
Director General of PT Pegadaian Damar Latri Setiawan emphasised that the company’s active participation in this programme was a manifestation of sustainable social responsibility.
“We view support for education not merely as assistance, but as long-term social investment for national development. Through this assistance, we hope to open wider doors of opportunity and motivate the younger generation to continue growing to achieve higher aspirations,” said Damar.
Beyond merely supporting educational infrastructure, Pegadaian continues to consistently provide financial literacy and investment education to the broader public. This step further strengthens the company’s position as The Leader in the Gold Ecosystem & Accelerator of Financial Inclusion, which not only drives the national economy transactionally, but also contributes to public welfare sustainably.
Through this one-year journey milestone, Danantara Indonesia reaffirmed its commitment to continue strengthening governance foundations, improving the quality of state asset management, and encouraging strategic investments that deliver long-term economic and social impact for Indonesia.
“This first year is a phase of building foundations. Going forward, our focus is to ensure those foundations are translated into real performance, through strong governance, professional state asset management, and strategic investment that benefits the national economy and the future of Indonesia’s younger generation,” Rosan concluded.
