MIND ID Maintains Strong Government Support Through Danantara and MSOE

On March 22, 2025, the government transferred all its Series B shares in the company to Danantara's operating holding company as additional capital investment. • Following this transfer, Danantara's operating holding company holds 99.99% of MIND ID's Series B shares, while the government retains one Series A Dwiwarna share through MSOE. • In accordance with Government Regulation No. 15 of 2025, the government will continue to exercise control over relevant state-owned enterprises through its ownership of Series A Dwiwarna shares. Therefore, the ultimate control of MIND ID remains with the government.

Unlocking Value Through Building a Resilient Aluminum Ecosystem

Over the next 30 years, aluminum consumption in Indonesia is projected to increase by approximately 600%. In particular, demand for aluminum will surge significantly in the EV and renewable energy sectors, such as PV solar, where deploying 1 MW of PV power generation requires approximately 21 mt of aluminum.

From 2018 to 2024, Indonesia's aluminum supply has primarily relied on imports. It is projected that by 2024, the import ratio will reach as high as 54%, while the contribution from the domestic aluminum industry will only be 46%.

Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the downstream processing of bauxite and advance the industrialization of aluminum to meet the growing domestic demand.

The goal is to achieve an annual production capacity of 900,000 mt of aluminum by 2030, supported by a refinery (SGAR Phase II) with an annual production capacity of 2 million mt of alumina.

We are seeking strategic partners to establish an end-to-end value chain from bauxite to aluminum and strengthen Indonesia's role in the global aluminum market.

We welcome partnerships that ensure long-term raw material supply through integrated operations and global supply chain collaboration.

We invite strategic investors—equity partners, joint ventures, or technology partners—to accelerate the development of a sustainable and high value-added aluminum industry.

Fed to Keep Large Banks' Capital Levels Unchanged, Postpones Stress Test Reforms Until 2027
The US Fed has announced that it will maintain the capital levels of large banks unchanged during the upcoming stress test cycle (corresponding to the 2026 cycle). At the same time, the US Fed is planning multidimensional reforms to this annual test, aiming to enhance its transparency. The US Fed's Vice Chair for Supervision, Bowman, revealed that adjustments to the stress capital buffer requirements for large banks will be postponed until 2027. This move is intended to provide the US Fed with sufficient time to evaluate potential flaws that may be exposed in its testing models when assessing banks' financial conditions under simulated economic downturn scenarios.
