TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Indonesian Investment Management Agency, Danantara, is preparing to issue Patriot Bonds, a financing instrument designed to strengthen collaboration between the government and the business world.
Chief Investment Officer Danantara Pandu Sjahrir stated that the Patriot Bonds provide an opportunity for national business groups to contribute to the nation's development agenda by supporting long-term national development. He emphasized, "Danantara Indonesia is committed to carrying out the mandate as a cautious, transparent, and well-governed state investment manager," as quoted from Antara on Tuesday, August 26, 2025.
He explained that Patriot Bonds are strategic financing instruments commonly used in various countries, such as Japan and the United States, to strengthen national financing independence. These bonds provide the country with stable medium- to long-term funding sources and give entrepreneurs access to safe investment instruments that benefit the national economy.
Pandu also emphasized that Patriot Bonds are based on the principles of voluntary participation and shared responsibility. In line with the nation's identity of cooperation, this initiative provides an opportunity for national business groups to contribute to the cross-generational development agenda, ensuring the sustainability and welfare of the people.
He believes that Patriot Bonds will mark a new milestone in Indonesia's journey towards 2045 when the nation's economic strength is measured not only by the size of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), but also by the welfare of the people.
"This is a call for mutual cooperation for the Indonesian business world. An invitation to exchange some short-term profits for a long-term legacy of independence, sustainability, and national welfare," said Pandu.
He claimed that support for Patriot Bonds has come from several leading Indonesian business players, including a statement from business conglomerate Prayogo Pangestu, who emphasized that Indonesia's development is the responsibility of all parties, including entrepreneurs.
"Danantara Indonesia's initiative through Patriot Bonds provides an opportunity for the business world to contribute to the national economic transformation with good and sustainable governance," said Pandu.
Meanwhile, entrepreneur Franky Widjaja sees Patriot Bonds as bringing dual benefits. "The Patriot Bonds initiated by Danantara Indonesia strengthen the collaboration between the government and the business world. This instrument provides investment certainty and accelerates inclusive growth for the wider community," he said.
Next, Boy Thohir also sees Patriot Bonds as a reflection of the spirit of mutual cooperation that has become the nation's strength. "Through this instrument, the business world can help ensure that national development financing is more independent and sustainable. We support this program, especially since Patriot Bonds will fund waste-to-energy projects that are much needed and beneficial to the people of Indonesia."
