Pushing BUMD as Economic Pillar, DKI Provincial Government Holds BUMD Leaders Forum
The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government held the BUMD Leaders Forum to boost the role of regional-owned enterprises (BUMD) as supporting economic pillars for Jakarta Global City. The event was an initiative by the DKI Jakarta Provincial BUMD Development Agency (BP BUMD) together with Bank Jakarta.
Under the theme ‘Synergy for Resilience: Strengthening the Role of BUMD as an Economic Pillar in the Jakarta Global City Ecosystem’, the forum served as a meeting platform for all commissioners and directors of DKI Jakarta’s BUMD.
DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono stated that the forum provides a space for BUMD to align perceptions on various matters. He emphasised the importance of collaboration amid global geopolitical dynamics and pressures from climate change, such as the El Niño threat, which impacts regional economic stability.
“I hope that in the next year, BUMD will carry out consolidation, and I am also providing opportunities because currently many of Jakarta’s BUMD are no longer just local players, including Bank Jakarta, PAM Jaya, Dharma Jaya, and others, and I am confident that this will bring many benefits to Jakarta,” Pramono said in his statement on Friday (17/4/2026).
In his remarks, Pramono reminded BUMD to remain vigilant against natural challenges and the global situation.
“But I also conveyed that the current geopolitical situation is struggling, and El Niño is expected soon from April to September this year, so I asked them to prepare for it,” he added.
Pramono believes that with strong consolidation and the development of a professional corporate culture, Jakarta’s BUMD will be able to face these challenges.
“Therefore, hopefully with BUMD consolidation and building a more open, transparent, and professionally managed corporate culture, I am confident that Jakarta’s BUMD will be even more ready,” Pramono asserted.
In addition to aligning visions, the forum also addressed several strategic issues, ranging from financing synergy through Bank Jakarta and guarantee synergy through Jamkrida Jakarta to the optimisation of BUMD assets.
The Head of the BUMD Development Agency explained that the forum’s main focus is on strengthening competitiveness, corporate health, and financing capacity for Jakarta’s development.
Meanwhile, the Head of BP BUMD for DKI Jakarta Province, Syaefuloh Hidayat, explained that the forum is a continuation of the December 2025 meeting. The 2026 BUMD Leaders Forum raises three strategic discussion topics.
“The first topic is accelerating investment performance and financial independence through creative financing and financing synergy. For the first quarter of 2026, alhamdulillah, credit facilities from Bank Jakarta have been signed for 3 BUMD, namely PT Bank Jakarta, PT Perumda Dharma Jaya, and Food Station Tjipinang,” he revealed.
The second topic is ‘Optimising Investment Performance and Business Development through Synergy in Guaranteeing Strategic Projects’. This topic discusses key outcomes including BUMD project guarantees by PT Jamkrida Jakarta and optimisation of Bank Jakarta credit guarantees through PT Jamkrida Jakarta.
The third topic is ‘Enhancing the Productivity of Strategic Assets as an Investment Driver and New Revenue Stream Generator’. This topic covers, among others, property development such as hotels, mixed-use housing, park & ride, as well as infrastructure development like wastewater treatment, food distribution, and processing.
For information, the event was also attended by the Secretary General of DKI Jakarta Province, Uus Kuswanto, Deputy Coordinator of the Governor’s Special Staff, Yustinus Prastowo, Assistant for Economy and Finance of the Provincial Secretary, Suharini Eliawati, Head of BP BUMD for DKI Jakarta Province, and several DKI Jakarta Provincial Government officials.
As the closing of the event series, a credit agreement was signed between PAM Jaya and Bank Jakarta. Through the commitment via the Collaboration Charter, BUMD are expected to transform into resilient, professional institutions that actively drive inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Jakarta.
