Kadin, OJK Pledge to Deliver 77 National Strategic Projects

JAKARTA, investortrust.id – A leading business organization and the national financial authority pledge to expedite the implementation of 77 National Strategic Projects to boost Indonesia’s economic development and strengthen domestic infrastructure. They emphasize that close collaboration across sectors is vital to ensure these initiatives run smoothly and deliver broad benefits.

The Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) and the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK) underlined their commitment during a Financial Lecture in Jakarta. Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Anindya Bakrie and Chairman of the Financial Services Authority Mahendra Siregar jointly discussed the best ways to finance, regulate, and incentivize the vast range of government-led projects. They also explored how these efforts would align with the Asta Cita program under Prabowo – Gibran.

During the discussion, held on Friday, Feb 28, 2025, Anindya stated that the private sector played a crucial role in ensuring the success of these projects. He remarked that collaboration between government agencies, regulators, and business leaders would remain key, particularly in determining what financial instruments and policy incentives might be introduced.

“We (Kadin and OJK) wanted to see how the 77 projects could be fully supported,” Anindya said. “That includes ensuring suitable financing and establishing the right kind of incentives. The smoother these projects run, the greater the impact on the economy.”

He added that more flexible and innovative approaches were needed, both in involving potential investors and streamlining regulatory hurdles. The initiatives covered a wide spectrum, from infrastructure and logistics to digitalization, which Anindya viewed as an important catalyst to accelerate project completion.

Separately, Mahendra emphasized that Kadin’s strategic position enabled it to gather timely information and help formulate more credible frameworks, so these ambitious projects could move from plans to reality. “We recognize how Kadin can support do-able and well-structured National Strategic Projects. From the financial services standpoint, we stand ready to collaborate and ensure a robust ecosystem,” he said.

Both leaders agreed that the 77 National Strategic Projects should act as a core driver of Indonesia’s growth in the coming years, creating new jobs, building modern infrastructure, and bolstering the nation’s competitiveness. By aligning government policy, regulatory oversight, and active private sector participation, Kadin and OJK aimed to avoid common pitfalls and deliver tangible progress on all fronts.
