Summary

  • Danantara opened its first global dollar bond sale with benchmark-sized notes split into five- and 10-year tranches, marking a key funding test for Indonesia’s new sovereign wealth fund.
  • The offering comes after an Indonesian market selloff soured confidence in Southeast Asia’s largest economy, putting investor appetite for the debut issue under close scrutiny.
  • Danantara has quickly emerged as a powerful new player in Indonesia’s economy, so the sale is also a broader gauge of how global investors view the country’s policy and market outlook.
