TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto will assign special presidential envoys to state-owned companies. The Head of State announced this at the Danantara Investment Management Agency's anniversary celebration held at Wisma Danantara, Jakarta.
Prabowo stated that he has appointed several special presidential envoys. Some of the special envoys Prabowo has appointed since taking office include Muhamad Mardiono as Special Presidential Envoy for Food Security and Raffi Farid Ahmad as Special Presidential Envoy for Youth Development and the Arts.
"I have appointed special presidential envoys, and perhaps I will appoint special envoys for each state-owned enterprise (SOE) we manage," Prabowo said in Jakarta on Wednesday evening, March 11, 2026.
Prabowo believes that every State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) managed by Danantara must be monitored to prevent the leakage of state assets. He believes that state-owned enterprises are "the lifeblood of the Indonesian nation."
He said, "We must monitor them because they are the lifeblood of the Indonesian nation." Without this... if this blood continues to leak, our nation will be in dire straits.”
Even so, the General Chair of the Gerindra Party claimed that Indonesia has a strong and bright future. He also urged Indonesia to remain united and harmonious, especially amidst the uncertain global situation. “We face the crisis bravely. The crisis is an opportunity. We are united, we are harmonious, and we work hard,” he said.
Meanwhile, Prabowo reminded the public about the importance of oversight of Danantara. According to him, many government institutions managing investment funds in wealthy countries are experiencing losses due to poor management.
Therefore, he advised Danantara officials to safeguard, supervise, and manage it as best as possible. "I entrust you with vigilance, awareness, and vigilance. Take care of yourselves. Remember, the hopes of the entire nation, of all the people, rest on your shoulders. You safeguard, you manage the wealth of our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren," he said.
