The Role of State-Owned Enterprises in Supporting Indonesia's National Development

Abstract

State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) are one of the important pillars in the Indonesian economy that have a strategic role in supporting national development. As entities owned and managed by the state, SOEs are not only tasked with managing potentially profitable assets and resources, but also contribute to providing public services and infrastructure that are essential for the welfare of the community. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in supporting national development in Indonesia, especially in achieving the objectives of the 2005-2025 National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda, to determine the challenges faced by SOEs in terms of governance, transparency, and innovation that can affect their effectiveness in driving national economic growth and equitable development, and to determine SOEs strengthen national economic resilience and increase the competitiveness of local industries, especially in strategic sectors such as energy, transportation, telecommunications, and banking. For research on the role of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in Indonesia's national development, research methods that can be used include qualitative and quantitative approaches, as well as literature studies and document analysis. The qualitative approach allows researchers to gain in-depth insights into the practices and challenges faced by SOEs.
