Early life and education

Hashim was born in Jakarta, Indonesia, on 5 June 1954. From a distinguished family, he is the youngest son of Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, the architect of the economic plan for the New Order, and Dora Marie Sigar. Hashim's mother was a Protestant Christian of Minahasan descent, who originated from the Maengkom family in Langowan, North Sulawesi.

Business career

In the beginning, Hashim Djojohadikusumo interned in a French investment bank as a financial analyst. He then continued his path towards the business world in becoming the director of Indo Consulting. Due to his rising development in the industry and business aspect, he then took acquisition of PT. Semen Cibinong through his company, PT. Tirta Mas. After that, he started investing his shares in Bank Niaga and Bank Kredit Asia and became a conglomerate. The Asian Financial Crisis of 1998 led to Hashim's stay in London for 9 years to be able to focus on his business. It was during that time his business progressed and spread. His successes led him back to Indonesia to save his brother's business, Kiani Kertas that was wrapped in a Rp. 1.9 Trillion debt with Bank Mandiri. Up to this day, Prabowo's company is owned by Hashim. [4]

After successfully saving Prabowo's company, Hashim Djojohadikusumo also achieved control over the concession of forestry land, around 39 hectares (97 acres), in Central Aceh. The concession pushed him to expand his business to reach 12,000 square kilometres (3 million acres) of plantations, forest concessions, coal mines, and oil & gas fields ranging from Aceh to Papua. As of 2014, he was considered a billionaire. [5] As of December 2019, Forbes estimates his net worth at $800 million, making him one of Indonesia's 50 wealthiest individuals. [6]

He is the founder of the Arsari Djojohadikusumo Foundation, which was established in honor of his late father, Professor Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, a former Indonesian economist considered the architect of the country's modern economy. [7] The Foundation funded The Sumitro Djojohadikusumo Center for Emerging Economies in Southeast Asia (SDCEESEA) at the Center for Strategic and International Studies [8] The SDCEESEA conducts research on U.S.-Indonesia relations and Southeast Asia. It includes a proactive program to promote deeper understanding and closer relations between the United States and Southeast Asia.

The Arsari Foundation has been collaborating with the Gadjah Mada University since 2007.
