Chief Economist of IQI Global, Shan Saeed, described Indonesia as a rising centerpiece for global investment following the leadership of President Prabowo Subianto. He noted that Indonesia’s active participation in the World Economic Forum Davos 2026 signals strong governmental seriousness, emphasizing that global capital allocators value executable and institutionalized policies over rhetorical commitments. According to him, Indonesia has successfully translated policy intentions into actionable investment platforms, strengthening its appeal to long-term investors.

Saeed explained that Indonesia’s investment strategy is built on three key pillars: platform, pipeline, and credibility. From a platform perspective, Danantara plays a central role in mobilizing institutional capital as an anchor for co-investment, with planned fund placements of up to USD14 billion in 2026. In terms of pipeline, the government is prioritizing structurally strong sectors such as renewable energy, digital infrastructure, healthcare, and food security, which are considered resilient to cyclical volatility and well-suited for long-term capital. On credibility, Indonesia demonstrates commitment through market-based financing, including the issuance of Patriot bonds, alignment with a BBB credit rating, and investment partnerships totaling approximately USD45 billion. Saeed added that macroeconomic stability remains a cornerstone of growth, with a 5–6% growth target for 2026 aligned with multilateral projections, positioning Indonesia as a core emerging market allocation with sustainable and systemic investment appeal.
