INDONESIA TO INTRODUCE NEW LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR TRUST FUNDS & SPVS
The Indonesian government is preparing new regulations in 2026 to establish trustee institutions and special-purpose vehicles (SPVs), enabling more investment inflows and trust fund structures under the sovereign investment authority, Danantara. The framework, derived from the 2023 Financial Sector Law, will introduce common law concepts such as separation of legal and beneficial ownership and bankruptcy remoteness, addressing long-standing investor demands. A key goal is to mobilize domestic capital, repatriate funds held overseas, and strengthen financial market depth, aligning with President Prabowo Subianto’s priority of boosting capital inflows and making domestic investment more attractive. The initiative also supports Indonesia’s ambition to develop Bali as a regional financial hub under a common law framework, while paving the way for Danantara to manage an estimated US$1 billion in trust funds within five years, including potential collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Director General of Financial Sector Stability and Development at the Ministry of Finance, Masyita Crystallin, who leads the office overseeing financial stability and development, is finalizing dozens of regulations mandated by the 2023 law. Her leadership also covers preparations to demutualize the Indonesia Stock Exchange, transforming it into a corporatized entity with a broader shareholder base, ensuring Indonesia’s financial sector remains competitive amid global trends.Source: https://indonesiabusinesspost.com/5702/markets-and-finance/indonesia-to-introduce-new-legal-framework-for-trust-funds-spvs-to-boost-investment (ICE GIACARTA)
