Danantara set to announce DSI management team next week
Speaking at a press conference in Jakarta on Sunday, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Danantara Indonesia, Dony Oskaria, said that a rigorous selection process is currently underway to recruit personnel from state-owned enterprises (SOEs) for the company, which will oversee the governance of Indonesia’s strategic commodity exports.
“This is also undergoing a strict selection process, and inshaAllah, hopefully next week several more names will be announced by Danantara as part of the team,” he said.
Oskaria, who is also Head of the SOE Regulatory Agency, stated that Danantara is working closely with the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Trade, and the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming in the process.
“This is not being conducted independently by Danantara alone. We also expect support from all stakeholders involved in the restructuring of our export system and the future management of our natural resource exports,” he said.
Alongside recruiting personnel, which will enter a six-month transition period, Danantara is also developing the technological infrastructure needed to support the new SOE, Oskaria said.
“We are currently developing a robust system. Our hope is to fulfill the great responsibility entrusted to us by the Indonesian people to manage our natural resources in a way that delivers maximum benefits,” he added.
The Indonesian government has assigned DSI to manage and supervise export transactions involving strategic natural resource commodities, initially focusing on coal, crude palm oil (CPO) and ferroalloys.
DSI’s transition period will run from June 1 through Dec. 31, 2026. During that period, the company will hold discussions with stakeholders, including industry participants, on a range of strategic issues, including the establishment of benchmark prices for key commodities.
