Rosan ensures Danantara investments will create new jobs
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Danantara CEO Rosan Roeslani has affirmed that his organisation is pursuing strategic investments to create new employment opportunities, addressing the challenge of Indonesia's demographic bonus with two million babies born each year.
"This is a challenge for Indonesia — how we can create more jobs. And creating jobs is the top priority in Indonesia," said Rosan during the International Conference on Infrastructure (ICI) 2025, monitored online via the YouTube channel of the Coordinating Ministry for Infrastructure and Regional Development in Jakarta on Thursday.
Rosan expressed his hope that Danantara would serve as a magnet for global investors to channel capital into Indonesia, particularly in infrastructure projects and downstream industries that can generate high-quality employment for the younger generation.
He highlighted the demographic challenge, where two million babies are born annually, demanding the sustained creation of job opportunities as a key priority for long-term inclusive and productive development.
Rosan explained his dual role as Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM and CEO of Danantara, a new body managing assets exceeding 900 billion US dollars across various nationally strategic sectors.
He stated that all state-owned enterprises (SOEs) now under Danantara's control would be optimised to generate added value through consolidation, privatisation, and close collaboration with domestic and foreign private sector players. Rosan stressed that it would be impossible to build all major projects alone, making private sector involvement a crucial key to developing the nation's various economic potentials.
He noted that Danantara currently oversees 50 SOEs and 889 subsidiaries, all directed towards generating maximum economic value through efficiency, innovation, and cross-border strategic partnerships.
He also expressed appreciation for Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, as Danantara can now manage its own dividends, thereby strengthening fiscal flexibility in financing priority national investment programmes with a direct impact on employment.
"Thank you, so that we can open up investment in Indonesia across diverse sectors. And we hope there will be even more high-quality jobs in Indonesia," Rosan added.
Through Danantara, Rosan is opening joint investment opportunities with international partners across various sectors, with the conviction that such collaboration will bring mutual benefits and accelerate national economic growth.
