Danantara Issues Inaugural USD1.5 Billion Global Bond
The Indonesian government has announced the positive achievement of Danantara’s inaugural global bond issuance, valued at USD 1.5 billion. The first global bond offering received a positive response during roadshows across several countries, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Boston, London, and New York.
“We have met with 122 global investors during this series of visits,” stated the Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM, who also serves as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Danantara Indonesia, Rosan Roesloani. He was accompanied by the State Secretary, Prasetyo Hadi, during a press conference at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta on Monday (15/06/2026).
Rosan noted that the amount of global bonds issued by Danantara successfully exceeded the previously established target. “From our initial plan to achieve 1 billion dollars, the book-building process attracted approximately 4.6 billion dollars. Given such high book-building interest, we upsized the issuance from 1 billion to 1.5 billion USD, split into 5-year and 10-year tenors,” he explained.
In addition to exceeding the issuance target, Rosan stated that Danantara managed to secure competitive bond yields. According to him, the five-year bond closed with a yield of 5.35 per cent, while the ten-year tenor reached 5.95 per cent.
“This is an extremely good result. It proves that investor confidence in Indonesia is high, and this is both proven and real,” he concluded.
Furthermore, Rosan explained that of the two debt instruments issued by Danantara, each successfully raised USD 750 million. He mentioned that a portion of the bond proceeds has already been realised. “We signed on the 11th, and the funds will enter Danantara’s account on the 18th,” he revealed.
Looking ahead, Rosan projected that Danantara could create opportunities to issue bonds with tenors of up to 30 years. This is attributed to high investor appetite for Danantara’s instruments and the stability of Indonesia’s economic growth.
“The appetite is very large because they see that Indonesia’s growth is relatively stable. While there are fluctuations—which are always part of the cycle, especially amidst geopolitical and geo-economic shifts—it remains a constant in our economic cycle,” he explained.
During the briefing, Rosan also highlighted an interesting trend regarding the countries with the highest interest in the global bond issuance. According to Rosan, the largest buyers of the bonds were from the United States, marking a departure from previous historical records.
“For the 5-year bonds, investors comprised approximately 38 per cent from the United States, 41 per cent from Europe and the Middle East, and 21 per cent from Asia. For the 10-year bonds, investors were 52 per cent from the United States, 31 per cent from Europe and the Middle East, and 17 per cent from Asia,” he noted.
