Golkar: Danantara Must Be Independent to Drive Economic Growth

Jakarta – Sarmuji, a member of Commission VI of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the Golkar Party faction, has underscored the significant potential of the Investment Management Agency (BPI) Daya Anagata Nusantara, known as Danantara, to serve as a catalyst for Indonesia's economic growth. He emphasizes that the management of Danantara must be independent, transparent, accountable, and free from political interference.

"The most crucial aspect is that Danantara must be managed independently, without any intervention, and conducted professionally to meet our expectations," Sarmuji stated on Monday (February 24, 2025).

Sarmuji asserted that the House of Representatives will monitor Danantara's management to ensure it aligns with the vision of President Prabowo Subianto. He also calls on the public to support transparency within this institution.

"Danantara has a significant objective to support investments in strategic sectors and attract foreign capital. Therefore, we must provide trust and ensure optimal supervision," he explained.

He expressed confidence in the professional figures appointed to lead Danantara, stating, "Looking at the leaders, Mr. Rosan, Mr. Doni, and Mr. Pandu are capable figures with extensive experience in their fields."

Danantara was officially inaugurated by President Prabowo Subianto at the State Palace in Jakarta on Monday (February 24, 2025). The leadership structure of Danantara includes Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rosan Roeslani, Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Pandu Patria Sjahrir, Chief Operating Officer (COO) Dony Oskaria, Chairman of the Supervisory Board Erick Thohir, and Vice Chairman of the Supervisory Board Muliaman D Hadad.

Additionally, former Indonesian presidents will be invited as advisors to ensure that Danantara is managed with high integrity.

In his speech, President Prabowo emphasized that Danantara is not merely an investment fund but a tool to transform national wealth management for the betterment of the people.

"Danantara must be managed with utmost caution, transparency, and be subject to audit at any time. This is a legacy for our future generations," Prabowo remarked.

With total managed assets exceeding US$ 900 billion, Danantara is poised to become one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world.
