JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government encourages the strengthening of the role of regional business entities (BUMD) as a support for the economy towards Jakarta as a global city. One of the steps is through the implementation of the BUMD Leaders Forum 2026.
The forum, which was initiated by the DKI Jakarta BUMD Development Agency (BP BUMD) together with Bank Jakarta, brought together all levels of BUMD commissioners and directors. A number of DKI Provincial Government officials were also present, including DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung.
During the forum, the Provincial Government emphasized the importance of equalizing perceptions among BUMD in the midst of uncertain global situations. Geopolitical issues to climate change are factors that are considered to need to be anticipated together.
"I hope that in the next 1 year BUMD will consolidate and I also give room for opportunity because currently many BUMD-BUMD Jakarta are now no longer local players, including Bank Jakarta, PAM Jaya, Dharma Jaya and others, and I believe this will provide many benefits for Jakarta," said Pramono, Friday, April 17.
Pramono also touched on the potential impact of the El Nino phenomenon which is estimated to occur from April to September. According to him, this condition can affect economic stability so that it needs to be anticipated early.
"But I also conveyed that because now the geopolitical situation is struggling and soon there will be an El Nino expected from April to September this year, I also ask them to prepare for it," he said.
He assessed that strengthening the internal BUMD was the key to facing these various pressures, especially through consolidation and improvement of corporate governance.
"So hopefully the consolidation of BUMD and building a more open, transparent corporate culture and managed professionally, I believe that BUMD Jakarta is more ready," said Pramono.
In addition to aligning visions, this forum also discusses a number of strategic agendas. Among them are financing synergies through Bank Jakarta, strengthening project guarantees through Jamkrida Jakarta, to optimizing assets owned by BUMD.
Head of BP BUMD DKI Jakarta Syaefuloh Hidayat explained that this forum was a continuation of the meeting in December 2025 with a focus on strengthening competitiveness and company health.
In his presentation, there were three main topics discussed, ranging from investment acceleration and financial independence through creative financing schemes, synergy in guaranteeing strategic projects, to increasing asset productivity as a new source of income.
"The first topic is the acceleration of investment performance and financial independence through creative financing and financing synergy. For the first quarter of 2026, Alhamdulillah, a Bank Jakarta credit facility has been signed for 3 BUMD, namely PT Bank Jakarta, PT Perumda Dharma Jaya, and also Food Station Tjipinang," said Syaefuloh.
Asset development is directed at the property sector such as hotels, mixed-use housing, and park and ride, as well as wastewater treatment and food distribution infrastructure.
As part of the follow-up to the forum, a credit agreement was signed between PAM Jaya and Bank Jakarta. This cooperation is expected to strengthen the financing capacity of BUMD while encouraging their role in the economic development of Jakarta.
