JAKARTA - Bank Mandiri continues to be committed to supporting national economic growth through strengthening the State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) ecosystem and optimizing state strategic assets.

As part of this effort, Bank Mandiri welcomes the establishment of the Anagata Nusantara Power Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara) which is expected to become the main catalyst in accelerating industrialization, increasing national competitiveness, and encouraging the achievement of government development targets.

This is in line with the speech on the inauguration of BPI Danantara at the State Palace, Jakarta, Monday, February 24, the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in the management of this entity. He emphasized that Danantara must be managed professionally, transparently, and can be audited at any time by the competent institution, so that state assets can be utilized as much as possible for the welfare of the people.

The President also highlighted that Danantara is not just a business entity, but a symbol of the country's commitment to building an independent and sovereign economic ecosystem.

Competitive, professional, and integrated companies in the global economy. We want to see more Indonesian SOEs included in the Global Fortune 500 list, proving that Indonesia is not just a follower, but Indonesia can also be a pioneer and leader in the world economy," said Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto in his speech.

As a development agent, Bank Mandiri views BPI Danantara as a strategic step in ensuring the optimization of more efficient and productive national resources. With an integrated approach, Danantara is expected to increase the added value of the national industry, strengthen the synergy between SOEs, and accelerate the downstreaming of strategic sectors which is the key to sustainable economic growth.

Bank Mandiri President Director Darmawan Junaidi, emphasized that this initiative will strengthen a more solid and competitive economic ecosystem at the global level.

"In line with the purpose of establishing BPI Danantara to consolidate all economic strengths owned by BUMN, Bank Mandiri is also committed to continuing to improve the synergy of the Mandiri Group to welcome Indonesia Gold 2045 by encouraging the implementation of national strategic programs and achieving government development targets," Darmawan said in his official statement, Tuesday, February 25.

BPI Danaantara was formed to consolidate various national strategic assets in one entity that is more integrated and efficient. With this strategy, state asset management can be optimized to minimize dependence on raw material exports and accelerate added value-based industrialization.

One of the main priorities held by BPI Danantara is to support national industrialization through downstreaming strategies. By reducing exports of raw materials and increasing domestic processing, Danantara is expected to create a wider economic impact, increase industrial competitiveness, and encourage job creation for the younger generation of Indonesia.

Furthermore, Darmawan explained, as one of the largest institutions in Indonesia, Bank Mandiri is ready to play an active role in implementing Danantara's policies through various financial services. Among other things, by providing more directed and efficient access to funding, Bank Mandiri plays a role in realizing a more inclusive and sustainable national economy transformation.

"We hope that in the future Bank Mandiri can continue to contribute to building the economy and provide added value for the Indonesian people, while strengthening Indonesia's position at the global level in line with Asta Cita Towards Indonesia Gold 2045," concluded Darmawan.
