TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - American business magnate Michael Bloomberg met with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday afternoon, November 18, 2025.
The two held a private lunch meeting, joined by Danantara CEO Rosan Roeslani and Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia.
According to Rosan, the meeting followed up on discussions between Prabowo and Bloomberg during the President’s visit to New York last September. Bloomberg and Prabowo exchanged views on cooperation in education, health, and marine conservation.
Bloomberg also outlined plans for partnership with Danantara, with further talks scheduled at Danantara’s office later in the evening.
“Several forms of collaboration will be pursued between their trust fund and Danantara’s trust fund in the areas of education, health, and sanitation,” Rosan said after the meeting.
He added that more detailed discussions would take place during the follow-up session at Danantara.
Separately, Minister Bahlil said the talks touched on economic and investment opportunities, including efforts to boost added value and industrial downstreaming. He did not confirm whether Bloomberg would take part in any energy-sector projects.
“It is still at the exploration stage. We hope it will eventually lead to execution. Several topics were discussed such as investment, downstreaming, and renewable energy. The details are still being explored with Mr. Rosan,” Bahlil said.
