Tempo is reporting that the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara) aims to achieve USD 5 billion in investments by the end of 2025, as stated by Danantara’s Managing Director of Finance, Arief Budiman.
“For 2025, we hope to invest around USD 5 billion within the remaining six to nine months,” Arief said during the national symposium ‘Sumitronomics and Indonesia’s Economic Direction’ in Setiabudi, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (3/6/25.)
He highlighted eight key sectors for Danantara’s investments: minerals, sustainable energy, digital infrastructure, healthcare, financial services, utility infrastructure, industrial estates, and food. These sectors were chosen based on their contribution to national economic growth and their potential for commercial returns, according to Tempo.
Arief emphasized the importance of investment for national economic growth, noting that in 2024, investments contributed approximately 29 percent to Indonesia’s GDP. Danantara operates through two arms: operational holding and investment holding. Currently, the operational holding manages around 50 state-owned enterprises (BUMN) across 12 sectors.
“We expect our contribution this year will generate approximately IDR 120 trillion in dividends,” Arief said. These dividends will be managed and reinvested by Danantara.
Previously, BPI Danantara Head Rosan Roeslani stated that President Prabowo had directed all Danantara investments to adhere to principles of transparency and accountability. The Minister of Investment and Downstreaming claimed that several of Danantara’s strategic projects have undergone comprehensive due diligence and are now in the finalization stage, says Tempo.
Rosan affirmed that the public would be informed about the investments made. “For us, the most important thing is that this process has been conducted properly, comprehensively, and in accordance with existing regulations,” Rosan said, as quoted from an official statement by the Presidential Secretariat on May 21.
