Danantara Marks First Anniversary with Performance Achievements
Danantara Indonesia, the Investment Management Agency for State Asset Future Development, has reached its first anniversary milestone.
CEO Danantara Indonesia Rosan Roeslani stated that Danantara Indonesia’s first year of operations was focused on building institutional foundations and governance structures, whilst launching various strategic initiatives that form the basis for transforming the management of state assets.
“This first year is a year of building foundations. We are establishing strong governance structures, reinforcing institutional structures, and initiating various strategic initiatives that serve as the foundation for creating long-term value for Indonesia,” said Rosan in his written statement on Thursday, 12 March 2026.
As the parent entity carrying out the mandate for strategic management of state assets, BPI Danantara focused during its first year on building institutional governance foundations.
Throughout 2025, BPI Danantara has developed more than 27 governance policies aligned with legislation to ensure state asset management operates transparently, accountably, and professionally.
In supporting the stability and strengthening of state-owned enterprises’ fundamentals, Danantara Indonesia has played a role in supporting the implementation of several government priority programmes. These include the Red and White Village Cooperatives programme, the Free Nutritious Meal programme, and the development of housing for communities whilst creating employment opportunities.
BPI Danantara has also strengthened its social impact dimension through the establishment of the Danantara Indonesia Trust Fund Foundation in October 2025. This initiative is designed as a sovereign wealth fund philanthropy platform that encourages social investment in priority sectors such as education, healthcare, and water and sanitation.
As part of developing a global ecosystem, Danantara has also initiated the SWF Philanthropy Learning Lab forum with various international institutions to strengthen best practices in long-term social fund management.
The strengthening of institutional foundations is also reflected in public perception, with approximately 93 per cent of media coverage regarding Danantara Indonesia being positive in sentiment, demonstrating increasing confidence in the transformation direction being pursued.
Through Danantara Asset Management (DAM), Danantara Indonesia carries out the mandate for management and transformation of the portfolio of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) with a focus on business and financial restructuring, portfolio streamlining and consolidation, and business development in strategic sectors.
“This effort is directed towards building companies within the Danantara Indonesia ecosystem that are more adaptive, competitive, and capable of creating sustainable economic value whilst providing tangible social contributions to the national economy,” said Rosan.
As part of comprehensive SOE portfolio restructuring, Danantara Asset Management (DAM) is implementing a phased streamlining process through various strategic steps such as liquidation, merger, and divestment of entities that are no longer priorities.
This process is conducted with emphasis on strong governance principles, portfolio discipline, and performance-based approaches to ensure each SOE entity has a clear strategic role within the national economic ecosystem.
This step is simultaneously directed towards creating a more efficient SOE structure that is focused and has healthier and more sustainable business foundations.
In terms of national industrial development, Danantara Indonesia through Danantara Asset Management (DAM) is also promoting various downstream industrialisation initiatives across sectors with potential investment value of approximately USD 26 billion, expected to expand industrial capacity.
Several projects have entered the development phase as of February 2026, including alumina and bauxite processing, bioavtur and bioethanol development, integrated poultry industry, and industrial salt processing.
Similar initiatives will continue to be developed in the mineral, energy, food, and agriculture sectors across various Indonesian regions as part of efforts to strengthen the national industrial value chain and create sustainable real economic value.
Through these measures, Danantara Asset Management (DAM) serves as the engine of transformation for the SOE portfolio to build healthier and more productive state companies capable of becoming pillars of national economic growth in the long term.
Meanwhile, Danantara Investment Management (DIM) carries out the role of Danantara’s global investment arm tasked with attracting strategic investment and expanding international partnerships.
In its first year of operations, DIM has established 11 global strategic partnerships through various memorandums of understanding (MoU) with investment commitments reaching approximately IDR 346 trillion, to channel foreign investment and global expertise to various priority sectors in Indonesia.
DIM is also expanding national investment capacity by creating additional financing capacity of approximately IDR 150 trillion through a combination of various financial instruments including loans, equity participation, issuance of patriot bonds, and revolving credit facilities (RCF) from global institutions.
Additionally, DIM has initiated various strategic investment projects, including participation in the development of the Hajj Village project in Mecca, expected to strengthen the global halal ecosystem and increase economic multiplier effects for Indonesia.
DIM is also driving investment in various national development projects, including co-investment in waste-to-energy facilities, with potential contributions to the national economy of approximately IDR 1.3–1.6 trillion per annum during the construction period.
As a symbol of commitment to the future of the nation’s children, at this occasion, the symbolic handover of 88,000 school supply packages for children throughout Indonesia was also conducted.
