Indonesia’s sovereign investment body, Daya Anagata Nusantara (Danantara), has set up collaboration with French investment bank Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (Crédit Agricole CIB) for the acceleration of investments across several key sectors in Indonesia, with a strong emphasis on renewable energy.

The partnership will focus on financing clean and sustainable energy initiatives, downstream mineral development, and related value chains. Other targeted sectors include digital infrastructure − such as data center expansion and digital ecosystem development − along with food security and agriculture, particularly through enhanced productivity and logistics systems.

Pandu Sjahrir, Chief Investment Officer of Danantara, emphasized that the memorandum of understanding (MoU) reflects Danantara's commitment to expanding global partnerships and financing access.

“Collaborating with Crédit Agricole CIB not only grants us access to a global financial network but also aligns with our shared vision for sustainable and inclusive development,” Pandu said in a statement on the signing of the agreement on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.

The two parties will jointly identify, structure, and fund investments that align with Danantara’s mission to foster sustainable economic growth. They will also explore investment opportunities in strategic sectors that align with the priorities of the Indonesian government.

As part of the agreement, Danantara and Crédit Agricole CIB will establish a joint working group to assess and evaluate potential areas of cooperation. The partnership will leverage Crédit Agricole CIB’s international network and expertise in sustainable financing, asset management, and global market access.

Jean-François Deroche, Senior Regional Officer for Asia Pacific at Crédit Agricole CIB, remarked on Indonesia’s growing significance on the global stage.

“This strategic collaboration with Danantara marks the beginning of a promising journey that will positively impact the real economy and energy transition − two core areas of our bank’s strategy,” Deroche said.
