Presidential Palace Outlines Government Strategy to Rebuild Public Trust  

Jakarta: Minister of State Secretary, Prasetyo Hadi, outlines steps to regain public trust, focusing on legal integrity and easing regulations on business actors.
 
President Prabowo Subianto reiterated several of the points in an effort to instill investor confidence and public trust, said Prasetyo in a press conference at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, as reported by Antara on Monday, June 15, 2026.
 
Prasetyo explained that under his recommendation, Prabowo emphasized the importance of accelerating deregulation as a means to reduce bureaucracy and simplify licensing. The step is considered to be crucial in fostering a more robust investment climate and in shaping a more competitive economic ecosystem in the age of globalization.
 
Beyond efforts to deregulate, Prabowo also issued specific instructions to the Minister of Investment and Downstreaming, the Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), and CEO of Danantara, Rosan Roeslanihasten, to hasten the implementation of initiatives aimed at accelerating downstreaming and industrialization.

Prasetyo explained that the strengthening of the rupiah exchange rate cannot be outdone by a healthy balance of trade, which is dependent on the value of products produced domestically through the downstream processing.
 
Speaking on the matter, Prasetyo stated, “ultimately, we hope that the products we produce through the downstreaming and industrialization processes can provide added value, and lead to the increased wealth of our nation and state."
 
With stability acting as a key pillar of the business climate, the government invited all levels of society, market players, and investors, to work together to strengthen the fundamentals of the national economy.
 
Prasetyo called for all Indonesians to join hands in working together to restore and strengthen our economy.
 
Rosan Roeslani further expressed that the international market confidence in Indonesia remains very high, as evidenced by the success of PT Danantara Investment Management (DIM), which had successfully issued its first global bond worth a staggering USD1.5 billion.
 
The issuance displayed an extraordinary demand from the international financial market, with the peak order book reportedly reaching approximately USD4.6 billion, over three times the total issuance value.
 
Rosan believes that “this proves that investor confidence in Indonesia is high, and that it is real and definitive."
