Published February 24, 2025

Jakarta - Raffi Ahmad, a prominent artist and Special Ambassador of the President for Youth Development and Arts Workers, expressed hope that the newly launched Investment Management Body (BPI) Daya Anagata Nusantara (Danantara) will significantly contribute to national economic growth. This launch was officiated by President Prabowo Subianto at the State Palace.

On his social media account, Raffi stated, "It's time for Indonesia to take bold steps by building the nation's investment strength through Danantara. This initiative is expected to promote economic growth without relying on foreign capital." He emphasized the need for robust domestic investment strategies to enhance the country's financial independence.

Raffi recognized Danantara's launch as a proactive move by the government aimed at establishing Indonesia as a country with strong economic resilience in the future. He commented, "Not only should we be bold, but we also need to manage this initiative in a neat, transparent, and accountable manner. With the support of the Indonesian people as key stakeholders, Danantara can lead Indonesia towards greater national resilience."

Moreover, he urged the public to unite in supporting and monitoring this new government project. "Let us guide and support Danantara’s performance, ensuring that it brings tangible benefits to the economy and the welfare of the Indonesian people," he concluded, underlining the importance of civic involvement in national projects.

Understanding Danantara

Danantara is envisioned as a mechanism to enhance Indonesia’s investment landscape, facilitating local entrepreneurs and investors. By ramping up internal investment, Indonesia aims to create a more sustainable economy that is less vulnerable to global economic fluctuations.

Significance of Danantara

The establishment of Danantara is deemed crucial for Indonesia's future growth trajectory. As the government seeks to bolster the economy from within, initiatives like Danantara can play a pivotal role in attracting domestic investment, fostering innovation, and ultimately leading to job creation.

Community Involvement

Raffi's call for community involvement highlights the government's belief that inclusive participation can strengthen the impact of Danantara on everyday life. As citizens become more engaged with such initiatives, the collective effort can greatly elevate the sense of ownership and responsibility toward national development.
