JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto in front of 12 senior global large companies emphasized that Indonesia is no longer a "sleeping giant", but has risen to jointly develop and improve the national economy.
This was conveyed by President Prabowo when opening a meeting with 12 major global investment companies in Washington DC, United States, Friday (20/2) local time.
"The President said at the beginning that Indonesia was known as a sleeping giant, but we're not sleeping anymore, now is the time we wake up and together develop and improve the economy in Indonesia," said the Minister of Investment and Industrialization who is also the CEO of BPI Danantara Rosan Roeslaniusai at the meeting.
Rosan said the investors present appreciated and praised the policies that the Prabowo government had implemented. These policies are considered to make Indonesia look bigger and more taken into account in the global investment map.
"They also expressed and praised the policies of the President which have been carried out so far which made them now see Indonesia as bigger," he said.
Meanwhile, Danantara Pandu Sjahrir's Chief Investment Officer (CIO) said that global investors specifically appreciated President Prabowo's commitment to strengthening the legal system and regulatory certainty as the main foundation for long-term investment.
They also appreciated the establishment of BPI Danantara which was initiated by Prabowo. Investors assessed that the establishment of Danantara could be one of the potential strategic partners, considering that they are accustomed to partnering with various sovereign wealth funds in the world.
"So, maybe it's one of the summaries of their desire to now start investing with carpartnerships and using Danantara as one of their potential partners to invest," said Pandu.
