Kalau ini BUMN yang non-Perum yang kita inbrengkan, berhubungan dengan operasional. Yang di luar Perum pokoknya,

BUMNs in the form of public companies (Perum) are still under review, as Danantara requires companies to be in PT form. Iya, transformasi dulu, iya. Ini lagi diproses, yang Perum masih kita kaji dulu,
he stated.
Danantara’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), Dony oskaria, mentioned that the inbreng of BUMN shares to Danantara is being accelerated, marked by the formation of a Government Regulation (PP). semua inbreng sekaligus, jadi kita sedang membuat PP inbreng. Tadi sedang konsultasi dengan DPR mengenai PP inbreng-nya. Kan sesuai UU kan harus PP inbreng,
Dony explained.

Dony added.
Dony had previously confirmed that all BUMNs would start entering Danantara by the end of March 2025, with the transfer of share ownership from the Ministry of BUMN to Danantara underway. Kita harapkan akhir Maret ini sudah masuk ya. Ya setelah proses inbreng selesai,kemudian itu akan segera masuk BUMN-nya ke Danantara. Seluruhnya (BUMN masuk Danantara),
Dony told reporters at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, on Friday, March 7, 2025.
Dony assured that all BUMNs, including those in poor condition, would be included in Danantara. For BUMN Karya, consolidation will be carried out to improve the company’s condition with Danantara. Sebetulnya nggak banyak yang merugi ya. Ah iya, itu (BUMN karya) nanti akan kita lakukan juga restrukturisasi ya. Tentu akan lebih mudah dengan danantara. Kalau dulu kan memang perusahaan itu satu-satu, kalau sekarang dengan proses konsolidasi, tentu akan lebih memudahkan juga untuk kita melakukan proses perbaikan kondisi perusahaan-perusahaan kita yang saat ini belum memberikan keuntungan,
he said.
