Danantara Indonesia promotes strategic investments to achieve 8 percent economic growth target
Danantara Indonesia reaffirms its commitment as a national strategic investment engine to support the 8 percent economic growth target through a cross-sector project pipeline, strengthening global partnerships, and accelerating downstream activities.
This was announced during the Indonesia Economic Outlook 2026 forum at Wisma Danantara Indonesia, which was attended by economists, financial institutions, investors, and business representatives.
President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, highlighted Danantara Indonesia’s initial results on this occasion.
“It’s not even been a year, but the interim report I received shows that Danantara’s efficiency and reforms have quadrupled compared to 2024. This is an extraordinary achievement, but we cannot be complacent. We must continue this,” said the President of the Republic of Indonesia.
Danantara creates jobs and stimulates national economic transformation
Rosan Roeslani, CEO of Danantara Indonesia, emphasized that Danantara Indonesia’s investments are aimed at real economic impact.
“Danantara wants to ensure that investments not only yield financial returns but also create jobs, strengthen the industry, and stimulate national economic transformation,” Rosan said.
To support economic growth, Indonesia is expected to need approximately 13 trillion Indonesian rupees in foreign direct investment (FDI) and domestic direct investment (PMDI) between 2025 and 2029. National investments in 2025 alone amounted to 1,931.2 trillion rupees, providing employment for more than 2.7 million people.
Various projects currently being prepared by Danantara Indonesia
Downstreaming is the main driver. Downstream investments are expected to reach 584.1 trillion rupees in 2025, or approximately 30.2% of total national investments, representing significant growth compared to the previous year.
Danantara Indonesia is preparing an investment pipeline worth tens of billions of US dollars, including downstream projects in mining, new energy, agriculture, digital infrastructure, and waste-to-energy.
Some of the projects currently being prepared by Danantara Indonesia include:
- Development of waste management facilities in 33 cities
- Integrated investments in the agricultural sector, both domestically and internationally
- Development of data center platforms with global operators
- Energy projects such as bioethanol, bioautonomy, and DME
- Strengthening the food industry, including poultry and salt processing
In total, the pipeline of downstream projects in various sectors has a potential investment of approximately US$26 billion and is estimated to create more than 600,000 direct and indirect jobs.
Danantara Expands Strategic Partnerships Globally
Danantara Indonesia is also expanding its strategic partnerships globally. Through collaborations with sovereign wealth funds and international financial institutions,
Rosan explained that the confidence of international investors is also reflected in its creditworthiness. Danantara Investment Management has a BBB rating with a stable outlook, in line with Indonesia’s sovereign rating.
“Every investment must have a multiplier effect: industrial growth, technology transfer, job creation, and increased national capacity,” Rosan said.
Danantara Indonesia believes that the momentum of economic reform must be maintained so that investments continue to flow and have a real impact.
“Indonesia has a strong foundation. It is our responsibility to ensure that this momentum translates into actual investment, industrial growth, and prosperity for the people,”
Rosan said. ***obs
