Danantara to Build Four Projects Worth $12.02 Billion in 2026, Rosan Says

JAKARTA, Investortrust.id — Danantara will build four major projects worth Rp202.4 trillion, equal to $12.02 billion, in 2026 to accelerate economic growth toward 8 percent, Investment Minister and Danantara CEO Rosan Roeslani said on Friday, Feb 13, 2026 in Jakarta. One flagship initiative is the Wamena waste-to-energy project across 33 cities valued at Rp84 trillion.

Rosan said total investment needs this year would reach Rp2,175.2 trillion, up 6.3 percent from 2025, as the government pushes toward its 2029 growth target.

"This year, total investment needs amount to Rp2,175.2 trillion, an increase of 6.3 percent from 2025," Rosan said at the Indonesia Economic Outlook 2026 held at Wisma Danantara.

Besides Wamena, Danantara will execute the Cordova project to develop caustic soda facilities worth Rp13.4 trillion, the Fukuoka project to build a global-partnered data center platform worth Rp121 trillion, and the Johor agriculture project valued at Rp84 trillion. He said the Wamena project alone could generate a tenfold multiplier effect.

"The multiplier effect of the Wamena project reaches ten times," Rosan said.

To achieve 8 percent growth by 2029, total foreign and domestic investment between 2025 and 2029 is projected at Rp13,032.8 trillion, growing an average 15.67 percent annually. In 2026 alone, required investment stands at Rp2,175.2 trillion.

Investment realization in 2025 reached Rp1,931.2 trillion, rising 12.7 percent and exceeding the government target by 101.3 percent, absorbing around 2.7 million workers. Foreign direct investment accounted for 46.65 percent, while domestic investment contributed 53.35 percent.

Downstream investment reached Rp584.1 trillion in 2025, up 43.35 percent and contributing 30.2 percent of total national investment. Mineral downstreaming led with Rp373.1 trillion, with nickel contributing Rp185.2 trillion.

Twenty downstream projects are planned with total investment of $26 billion and potential employment of around 600,000 workers. Six projects worth about $7 billion have already broken ground earlier this month.

Regarding waste-to-energy development, Rosan said Indonesia generates around 60 million tons of waste annually, with roughly 87 percent not yet optimally managed. The first batch began in November 2025, with winners to be announced by late February 2026.

Danantara has also secured global funding support. In November 2025, its discretionary investment management arm signed a $10 billion revolving credit facility agreement for long-term overseas financing.

The agency has partnered with several sovereign wealth funds, including China Investment Corporation and Japan Bank for International Corporation at $1 billion each, Qatar Investment Authority at $4 billion, and Russian Direct Investment Fund at $2 billion.

Danantara Asset Management has received a BBB rating with stable outlook from Fitch Ratings for long-term foreign currency loans.

"This is equal to Indonesia’s sovereign rating. Danantara’s DIM rating is aligned with the credit rating of the Indonesian government," Rosan said.
