Indonesia to launch new sovereign wealth fund with over $900 billion in assets
Feb 14, 2025 1:31 AM

JAKARTA, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Indonesia's President

Prabowo Subianto will launch a new sovereign wealth fund called

Danantara Indonesia on February 24 with assets under management

exceeding $900 billion, according to a video statement shared by

the government late on Thursday.

Prabowo said the fund will invest in sustainable high impact

projects across sectors such as renewable energy, advanced

manufacturing, downstream industries and food production.

"All these projects will contribute to achieving our

committed target of 8% economic growth," Prabowo said, referring

to the government's goal to achieve annual economic growth of

8%by 2029, compared to 5% growth last year.

He made the statement in a video at the World Governments

Summit in Dubai.

The statement on the expected launch came after the creation of

Danantara Indonesia, modelled after Singapore's investment arm

Temasek, received parliament's approval last week.

Danantara Indonesia will take over all government holdings

in state companies, which include leading lenders Bank Mandiri

, Bank Rakyat Indonesia, and Bank Negara

Indonesia, from the Ministry of State-Owned

Enterprises.

Prabowo also said the government has saved more than $20

billion in its budget through efficiency measures, equivalent to

about 10% of Indonesia's annual spending, and the savings will

be used to finance more than 20 multi-billion dollar projects,

such as investments in nickel, bauxite, copper and other

critical minerals.

Australia smothered top-ranked England by 64 runs at Lord's on Tuesday and ratcheted up the pressure on the home side to join the defending champion in the Cricket World Cup semifinals. First into the playoffs, the Australians successfully defended a total for the fourth consecutive match, making 285-7 stand tall by bowling out England for 221 with 5.2 overs to spare. Inspired recall Jason Behrendorff claimed a maiden 5-for while fellow left-arm seamer Mitchell Starc grabbed four to lead the tournament wickets list with 19. "You don't win the tournament if you don't reach the semis. That's the first bit ticked off," said Australia captain Aaron Finch, who led the effort with 100, his second century of this World Cup. England rose to the top of the one-day rankings thanks to fearless and imaginative chases, but fell to a third defeat in seven matches in its home World Cup, all three while chasing. Here are the highlights of the match:
