One Year of Danantara Reflection
Meanwhile, the one-year journey of Danantara was commemorated through a reflection activity held at Wisma Danantara in Jakarta on Tuesday, 11 March 2026. The event was attended by President Prabowo Subianto, several cabinet ministers, and BUMN leaders.
In his remarks, the President emphasised the importance of integrity and disciplined governance in managing state assets. He stressed that Danantara was established to ensure the management of state assets is conducted professionally and oriented towards the nation’s long-term interests.
According to the President, the existence of this state investment management institution enables Indonesia to have an institution that can be compared with sovereign wealth funds at the global level.
He assessed that achievements in the past year demonstrate that with good management and disciplined governance, the performance of state asset management can increase significantly. However, he noted that such achievements represent only an initial step that must be continually strengthened going forward.
Danantara CEO Rosan Roeslani explained that the institution’s first year of operation focused on building strong institutional foundations and governance. According to Rosan, the management of state assets must ultimately provide tangible impact for the nation’s future. Therefore, commitment to building the next generation is an important part of Danantara’s journey.
