Danantara to Receive US$7 Billion in Dividends, 80% of Portfolio to Be Invested Domestically
Jakarta - Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Badan Pengelola Investasi Daya Anagata Nusantara (BPI Danantara) Rosan Roeslani has revealed the amount of dividends the sovereign wealth fund is set to receive. This year, he estimates dividends will reach US$7 billion, or approximately Rp120-150 trillion.
According to Rosan, the funds will be used to drive growth in the real sector. Prior to Danantara's establishment, dividends from various state-owned enterprises (SOEs) went directly into state coffers.
"Dividends that previously went straight to the state can now be utilised for investment in industrial sectors that create quality jobs," Rosan explained in a written statement on Saturday (14/6/2025).
Rosan explained that Danantara will manage assets worth Rp15,000 trillion. The fund's financing will no longer depend on state capital injections through the national budget (APBN), but rather on SOE dividends that will be redeployed into strategic projects.
In his address, Rosan also highlighted the serious challenge of Indonesia's workforce quality. Of 140 million workers, 36 per cent have only primary school education, with 24 per cent of those not even completing basic education.
"This is a major challenge for the nation," he stressed.
For this reason, Danantara has a dual mission: creating quality employment whilst achieving sustainable returns. "Every year, two million babies are born in Indonesia. We must start now to ensure that the majority of them can eventually obtain decent employment," he added.
He also confirmed that 80 per cent of Danantara's investment portfolio will be focused domestically, whilst 20 per cent will be directed overseas. Over five years, this strategy is projected to generate revenue of US$135 million.
"Investment is not merely about deploying capital, but also about creating added value and efficiency, particularly for SOEs that have not yet performed optimally," he said.
"Danantara will serve as a bridge to boost foreign investor confidence. With the funds at our disposal, we can leverage investments to four or five times the initial amount," he explained.
Rosan, who also serves as Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM, emphasised the importance of investment as the primary driver of Indonesia's economic growth in the coming years. Investment contributes 29 per cent to economic growth, behind household consumption at 53 per cent.
He explained that over the past decade, total investment entering Indonesia reached Rp9,100 trillion, and is expected to increase to Rp13,000 trillion over the next five years to support the target of 8 per cent economic growth by 2029.
