Key to Attracting Family Offices: Investment Minister Stresses PFII Must Be Independent

Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM Rosan Roeslani has stressed that fund management through the Indonesian Financial and Investment Centre (PFII) must operate independently. This independence covers all aspects, from management and judicial processes to the supervisory system by the Financial Services Authority (OJK). “In essence, everything about the PFII must be independent. So, in terms of management, it is certainly independent, then in terms of its judiciary—although it still cooperates with the Supreme Court (MA)—the stages must also be independent. Then the OJK must also be an independent OJK,” Rosan said during a press conference on the Financial Note and 2027 State Budget Draft at the Directorate General of Taxes, Ministry of Finance, Jakarta, Friday (14/8/2026). When asked about the potential funds that could be attracted through global funds, Rosan explained that the government is still in the early exploratory stage with prospective investors. He revealed that discussions so far have only been held with investors and family offices from the Asian region, while potential investors from Europe and the Middle East are still in the preparation stage. “So far, we have only met with investors or family offices from Asia, not yet from Europe or the Middle East,” he said. Nevertheless, Rosan assessed that the Middle East region, particularly Dubai, holds enormous potential as a source of investment funds. According to him, several parties from Dubai have shown interest in investing in Indonesia. “Indeed, the great potential is largely from Dubai; there is a possibility they will also enter our market,” Rosan said. Rosan also confirmed that the potential funds of around Rp 500 trillion previously mentioned by the Ministry of Finance would primarily originate from the family office scheme. “Yes, the plan is that most of it will come from family offices,” Rosan added. To strengthen the PFII framework, the government is also actively seeking input from global financial centres, such as the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Rosan considers the system and regulations applied in Dubai to be one of the best references for Indonesia. “If we look at it, we have also received a lot of input from the DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre), because its framework is indeed very good,” he concluded.
