House Commission XI Pushes Economic Growth Through Strategic Investment
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Chairman of House of Representatives Commission XI Mukhamad Misbakhun has assessed that Indonesia is now entering a crucial phase in driving economic growth through strategic investment.
Misbakhun made the remarks in response to the Indonesia Economic Outlook 2026 forum, which highlighted the importance of strategic investment policy direction, downstreaming, and strengthening the real sector.
"Indonesia needs investment that delivers tangible impact, creates industries, expands employment, and increases national capacity. This must be the focus to ensure sustainable and inclusive economic growth," Misbakhun said in a statement in Jakarta on Thursday.
The Commission XI chairman, whose committee's remit covers finance, national development planning, monetary affairs, and the financial services sector, stressed that this momentum must be promptly translated into consistent execution on the ground.
He assessed that the current global context demands that the country move swiftly to build domestic industrial strength, particularly in the energy, critical minerals, food, and technology sectors.
In this situation, institutional readiness and policy consistency are the determining factors.
Misbakhun noted that Indonesia is beginning to develop a more structured framework for managing long-term investment, including through Danantara Indonesia as a national investment platform.
"The presence of Danantara signals that the state is beginning to build a more systematic mechanism for linking industrial needs, financing, and investor interest. This is an important step, because strategic projects require institutions capable of overseeing the process from planning through to execution," he said.
Furthermore, Misbakhun responded directly to Danantara Indonesia's presentation during the forum session. The session, which showcased a cross-sector investment pipeline spanning mineral downstreaming, new energy, agriculture, and digital infrastructure, was viewed as part of efforts to drive long-term economic growth.
