Rosan Says High-Speed Rail Debt Scheme is Being Refined

Chief Executive Officer of Danantara Indonesia, Rosan Roeslani, stated that the debt restructuring scheme for the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Rail project, or Whoosh, is still in the refinement stage.

“The scheme is currently being fine-tuned. But it will be directly conveyed by Mr Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure,” said Rosan in Jakarta on Thursday (23/4/2026).

Rosan did not explain the details of the scheme. Questions regarding the potential use of the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget were also not answered.

“It will be directly announced later,” he said.

“At that time, there was already a meeting by Mr Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure, Mr Finance Minister (Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa), and us (Danantara). The solution is already in place, and it will be followed up by the team to discuss with the Chinese side,” said Rosan.

“The solution is already there, and yesterday we also did some sounding. Insha Allah, this can be completed,” he added.

Rosan’s statement aligns with the explanation from Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa. Purbaya stated that the debt restructuring process has been completed.

“It’s done (restructuring), just waiting to be announced,” said Purbaya in Jakarta on Wednesday (22/4/2026).

“Yesterday I met the Chinese Finance Minister. This is related to the long-term relationship between Indonesia and China. I told the Chinese Finance Minister that it has been decided, just waiting to be announced,” said Purbaya.
