President Prabowo Directs Danantara to Uphold Transparency and Accountability in All SOE Investments
JAKARTA. President Prabowo Subianto summoned Investment and Downstream Industries Minister/BKPM Head and concurrently Head of BPI Danantara Indonesia, Rosan Roeslani, to the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta. The meeting discussed a number of strategic agenda items related to the future direction of SOE investment and the strengthening of governance in national projects.
Following the meeting, Rosan conveyed that President Prabowo had issued directives for all investments undertaken by Danantara to be carried out with the principles of transparency and sound accountability. These principles are expected to be applied across all investments, from the downstream industries sector to clean energy.
"The emphasis is indeed on governance, transparency, openness, and accountability. It was also stressed that SOEs should improve and become drivers, particularly in terms of job creation. That is what was conveyed by the President," said Rosan at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta on Tuesday (20/5).
Rosan added that Danantara would deploy expert teams and open opportunities for the involvement of specialists across various fields to ensure investments are conducted professionally and deliver tangible impact. "Because we must also be accountable for the funds we disburse," he added.
Regarding Danantara's project portfolio, Rosan noted that several strategic projects had undergone comprehensive due diligence processes and were now entering the finalisation stage. He assured that all processes had met financial, legal, administrative, and technological requirements.
"We have already done that, so the expectation is that in the near future there will be several investments that we will undertake, and we will also be transparent with the public about what investments we are making," Rosan stated.
The closed-door meeting was also attended by Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia, State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi, and Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya.
