Indonesia state-owned enterprise and investment management

Overview

Indonesia is implementing new investment and asset management strategies to drive economic growth and transform state-owned enterprises (BUMN). In early August 2026, regional efforts in West Java focused on creating a state-owned enterprise holding through PT Sangga Buana to increase dividend income and improve efficiency. At the national level, the investment body Danantara has been identified as a key driver for professional asset management and industry downstreaming, contributing to a 5.6% economic growth rate in the first half of 2026.

By mid-August 2026, President Prabowo Subianto highlighted the success of Danantara in accelerating BUMN transformation. During his state address at the 2026 Annual MPR Session, the President detailed his administration’s progress over 21 months, noting that the first semester of 2026 recorded a 5.45% increase in economic growth. He reported significant profit increases for several state companies, including PT Timah, Pupuk Indonesia, and Semen Indonesia, while noting that the initiative helped turn around previously loss-making entities such as Krakatau Steel and Kimia Farma.

During the presentation of the 2027 Draft State Budget and Financial Note, President Prabowo proposed legislative amendments to allow limited dual citizenship for highly skilled members of the Indonesian diaspora. This selective policy targets scientists, doctors, engineers, AI experts, researchers, entrepreneurs, artists, and athletes to retain talent for national development. The proposal includes a rigorous screening process to protect national security, though some international law experts have raised concerns regarding its impact on nationalism.

Additionally, the President emphasized digital connectivity as essential infrastructure, noting that 4G networks reach nearly 99 percent of the population. He also announced plans to improve healthcare access in remote regions through the deployment of air ambulances and mobile medical teams.
