Jakarta. Sovereign Wealth Fund, Danantara Indonesia, has begun formal cooperation with the Jordan Investment Fund (JIF) to explore joint investments in some of Jordan’s highest-priority sectors, marking a new chapter in Indonesia–Jordan economic ties.

Danantara, through its investment arm Danantara Investment Management, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with JIF this week in Amman, witnessed by Danantara CEO Rosan Roeslani and Jordan’s Minister of Investment Tareq Abu Ghazaleh. The MoU outlines collaboration in infrastructure, urban development, transport, energy transition, as well as digital and technology-driven projects.

The signing was part of a full working day hosted by the Ministry of Investment of Jordan, which gathered senior officials from both countries to map out long-term cooperation, operational mechanisms, and potential sovereign-to-sovereign partnerships. Jordanian ministers from public works, transport, energy, and digital economy presented the Kingdom’s project pipeline and highlighted the role of international partners in accelerating national development goals.

“Today’s signing marks an important milestone in the relationship between Indonesia and Jordan. Danantara welcomes the opportunity to work alongside the Jordan Investment Fund in identifying strategic projects that deliver long-term value and contribute to shared economic progress,” Rosan said.

He added that Jordan’s stable investment climate and clear development priorities strengthened confidence in the partnership. “We see this collaboration as the beginning of a broader, multi-phase engagement where both countries can work hand in hand to unlock new areas of growth.”

Jordan’s Investment Minister Tareq Abu Ghazaleh welcomed the initiative, noting it aligns with King Abdullah II’s directives following his recent visit to Indonesia. He pointed to the Kingdom’s skilled workforce, natural resources, strategic geography, and supportive regulations as strong foundations for major investment projects and sustainable partnerships.

The MoU establishes a structured process for Danantara and JIF to evaluate high-potential investments and conduct feasibility studies to ensure long-term economic and developmental impact. It also opens deeper institutional cooperation through knowledge exchange in investment management, governance, and project development.

“We believe this collaboration will evolve into a meaningful, long-term partnership that supports Jordan’s development ambitions while creating new avenues of value for Indonesia. This agreement is not the final destination; it is the starting point for a wider strategic engagement that will continue to grow in scale and significance over time,” Rosan said.
