Pegadaian Supports Foundation for Indonesia's Future Generations
PT Pegadaian has reaffirmed its support for the government’s efforts in strengthening the foundation of national development, particularly for the future of Indonesia’s young generation. This commitment was conveyed during the commemoration of Danantara Indonesia’s first anniversary through a joint reflection activity held at Wisma Danantara, Jakarta, on Tuesday, 11 March 2026.
The event, attended by President Prabowo Subianto, cabinet ministers, and the leadership and entire workforce of Danantara, served as an occasion for reflection on achievements and the strategic direction of state investment management going forward. In his remarks, the President emphasised the importance of maintaining integrity, disciplined governance, and a long-term orientation in managing state assets to strengthen the foundation of national economic development.
The President affirmed that Danantara Indonesia was established to ensure that state asset management is conducted professionally, transparently, and with a focus on the nation’s long-term interests. With good management and disciplined governance, state asset management is expected to provide real added value for national development and public welfare.
“We are grateful that Indonesia now has a state investment management institution that can be compared with sovereign wealth funds at the global level. However, this achievement is only the beginning. Going forward, we must continue to strengthen governance and improve performance so that state asset management truly provides the greatest benefit for the Indonesian people,” the President stated.
Under the theme “One Danantara”, this first anniversary commemoration reflects the spirit of collaboration among all state-owned enterprises to move together in strengthening the foundation of the national economy and creating sustainable impact for future generations. Danantara Indonesia Chief Executive Officer Rosan Roeslani stated that the first year of Danantara’s journey focused on building strong institutional foundations and governance.
“State asset management ultimately must deliver real impact for the nation’s future. Therefore, commitment to building the future generation is also an important part of Danantara Indonesia’s journey,” he said.
This commitment has also been realised through various social initiatives that affirm that the results of development must provide direct benefits to the public. One example is the symbolic handover of 88,000 school supply packages for children across Indonesia, carried out simultaneously by state-owned enterprises in various regions.
In line with this spirit, PT Pegadaian strengthens its contribution to national development through a school supply assistance programme that forms part of efforts to encourage access to education and drive the learning enthusiasm of young Indonesians.
In its implementation in South Sulawesi, PT Pegadaian distributed 2,000 school supply packages to students in eight strategic regions, namely Makassar City, Palopo City, Bulukumba Regency, Jeneponto, Pinrang, Wajo, Sinjai, and Gowa Regency. The distribution of assistance was carried out through collaboration with various local schools to ensure that assistance reaches the right targets and provides direct benefits to students.
PT Pegadaian’s President Director Damar Latri Setiawan affirmed that the company’s active participation in the programme is part of the company’s sustained social responsibility.
“We view support for education not merely as assistance, but as a long-term social investment for national development. Through this assistance, we hope to open wider opportunities and motivate young people to continue developing and pursuing higher aspirations,” he said.
Beyond providing support in the form of educational facilities, PT Pegadaian continues to consistently expand financial and investment literacy to the public. This effort further strengthens the company’s position as The Leader in the Gold Ecosystem & Accelerator of Financial Inclusion, playing an active role in improving public welfare whilst strengthening the national economy sustainably.
Through the commemoration of Danantara Indonesia’s first anniversary, the commitment to strengthen governance, improve the quality of state asset management, and encourage strategic investment was reiterated as an important foundation for economic development and the future of Indonesia’s generation.
“This first year is a phase of building foundations. Going forward, our focus is to ensure that these foundations are translated into real performance through strong governance, professional state asset management, and strategic investment that benefits the national economy and the future of Indonesia’s generation,” concluded Rosan.
