Encouraging the role of DKI BUMDs as economic pillars, DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is holding a BUMD Leaders Forum

JAKARTA – Encouraging to increase the role of BUMDs as supporting economic pillars of Jakarta, the Global City, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is holding a BUMD Leaders Forum initiated by the DKI Jakarta Province Regional Owned Enterprise Development Agency (BP BUMD) together with Bank Jakarta in Jakarta (17/4/2026).

In the event which brought together all the ranks of Commissioners and Directors of BUMD DKI Jakarta Province, the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung, was also present, along with the Regional Secretary of DKI Jakarta Province, Uus Kuswanto, Deputy Special Staff Coordinator of the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Yustinus Prastowo, Assistant for Economy and Finance of the Regional Secretary of DKI Jakarta Province, Suharini Eliawati, Head of BP BUMD DKI Jakarta Province and a number of DKI Jakarta Provincial Government Officials.

Carrying the theme "Synergy for Resilience: Strengthening the Role of BUMDs as Economic Pillars in the Jakarta Global City Ecosystem", Governor Pramono said that this forum was a space for BUMDs to equalize perceptions in many ways. He emphasized the importance of collaboration amidst global geopolitical dynamics and the pressure of climate change, such as the threat of El Nino, which has an impact on regional economic stability.

"I hope that in the next 1 year BUMDs will consolidate and I will also provide opportunities because currently many Jakarta BUMDs are no longer local players, including Bank Jakarta, PAM Jaya, Dharma Jaya and others and I am sure that this will be able to provide many benefits for Jakarta," said Governor Pramono.

However, Pramono reminded BUMD to remain alert to natural challenges and the world situation. "But I also said that because currently the geopolitical conditions are struggling and soon there will be El Nino predicted from April to September, so I also ask them to prepare for that," he said.

Pramono believes that with strong consolidation and building a professional corporate culture, BUMD Jakarta will be able to face these various challenges. "So hopefully we will consolidate BUMDs and build a corporate culture that is more open, transparent and managed professionally. I am sure that Jakarta BUMDs will be more ready," stressed Governor Pramono.

Apart from aligning the vision, this forum also raised a number of strategic issues, starting from financing synergies through Bank Jakarta and guarantee synergies through Jamkrida Jakarta to optimizing BUMD assets. The Head of the BUMD Development Agency explained that the main focus of this forum was directed at strengthening competitiveness, company health, and Jakarta's development financing capacity.

The Head of BP BUMD DKI Jakarta Province explained that this forum was a continuation of the December 2025 meeting. In BUMD Leaders 2026 three strategic discussion topics were raised.

"The first topic is accelerating investment performance and financial independence through creative financing and financing synergies. For the first quarter of 2026, Alhamdulillah, Bank Jakarta credit facilities have been signed for 3 BUMDs, namely PT Bank Jakarta, PT Perumda Dharma Jaya, and also Food Station Tjipinang," said the Head of BP BUMD DKI Jakarta Province.

While the second topic; Optimizing Investment Performance and Business Development through Strategic Project Guarantee Synergy, with the main results of the discussion including guaranteeing BUMD projects by PT Jamkrida Jakarta and optimizing Bank Jakarta credit guarantees through PT Jamkrida Jakarta.
