Purpose: Indonesia Raya Incorporated (IRI) is a term used in the conception of state asset ownership management based on economic constitution. The IRI study has been previously developed as an effort to implement the governance of state-owned enterprises (SOEs and ROEs) in Indonesia. IRI's conception adheres to the paradigm of murakabi economy. It is a systematic economic thought offered to countries in order to find solutions to overcome various national and global economic problems. Murakabi economy is oriented towards the exploration and utilization of the country's wealth or assets in an economy that is fully managed for the welfare and prosperity of the people. This study aims to broaden the concept of IRI, as well as to build theories about the management of state assets that systemically focus on murakabi economic development.

Qualitative research methods at a high level are used to solve the problem formulations of this study.

Data sources were collected from the Focus Group Discussion Forum (FGD) of economists, practitioners and academics from various universities in Indonesia.
