Danantara Obtains IDR 277 Trillion in Financing, Predominantly from Overseas Lenders

Jakarta: Danantara Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rosan Roeslani announced that in the past four months, Danantara's Investment Management Agency (BPI) has successfully raised USD17 billion, or approximately IDR 277.42 trillion (exchange rate of IDR 16,319).

This funding consists of two main sources: collaboration with foreign sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) and unsecured loans from international banks.

Rosan detailed that of the total funds, USD7 billion, or IDR 114.233 trillion, came from strategic collaborations with several global sovereign wealth funds, including Qatar, the China Investment Corporation (CIC), and the Russia Direct Investment Fund (RDIF).

Meanwhile, the remaining USD10 billion, or IDR 163.19 trillion, was obtained through revolving loans from 12 unsecured international banks.

"The loans from foreign banks are provided solely based on trust; they don't provide any collateral," Rosan said at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in Jakarta on Tuesday, July 22, 2025.

Rosan added that the USD10 billion in funding received by Danantara through the revolving facility is the largest in the ASEAN region for a SWF. "Thank God, we just received approval to receive funding of USD 10 billion," he said.

A Credible and Transparent Financial Management System

According to Rosan, this trust is inseparable from Danantara's governance and financial management system, which are claimed to be credible and transparent. Another reason is that Danantara is considered to have a clear and measurable payment mechanism, particularly through the annual dividends received from its investment portfolio.

"They see Danantara as having a proper and orderly system. Because the payments are clear. Where will they come from? From the dividends we receive every year," Rosan said.

In addition to dividends, Danantara also ensures a streamlined secondary income stream, namely from investment returns and reinvestment through the managed portfolio. This is considered a strong foundation for building long-term trust from partners and investors.

Going forward, Rosan is optimistic that this trust will continue to grow in line with Danantara's plan to manage strategic investments while adhering to the principle of sustainable returns.

"We are confident that in the future, we will receive more investment trust. Of course, the investments we make will still adhere to existing criteria, because investing must yield a return," Rosan said.
