JAKARTA, Investortrust.id — The government places another Rp 76 trillion on Monday Nov 17 2025 in Jakarta in three state owned lenders and Bank DKI to push faster loan expansion as policymakers seek short term economic momentum through lower funding costs. The move follows an earlier Rp 200 trillion liquidity placement that has channelled 84 percent into new credit and strengthened transmission to the real sector.
PT Bank Mandiri Tbk or BMRI received another Rp 25 trillion as part of the new liquidity support designed to boost working capital lending at lower cost. PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia Tbk or BBRI and PT Bank Negara Indonesia Tbk or BBNI each obtained identical allocations, while Bank DKI secured Rp 1 trillion as the only regional lender in this round.
Director General of Economic and Fiscal Strategy at the Ministry of Finance Febrio Nathan Kacaribu said the placement aimed to drive loan distribution more quickly. "This will move the real sector, because credit distributed by the financial and banking sectors can be channelled more quickly, supported by lower cost of funds," he said.
He delivered the remarks during a working meeting with Komisi XI of the House of Representatives as he explained the government's goal of accelerating short term economic growth. Febrio also presented updated data on the Rp 200 trillion placement conducted earlier in the year, which showed that banks had used Rp 167.6 trillion or 84 percent within five weeks.
PT Bank Mandiri Tbk and PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia Tbk had fully utilised their initial Rp 55 trillion allocations to support new credit. PT Bank Negara Indonesia Tbk had used Rp 37.4 trillion or 68 percent of its initial Rp 55 trillion share, while PT Bank Tabungan Negara Tbk used Rp 10.3 trillion or 41 percent of its Rp 25 trillion placement.
PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Tbk had used Rp 9.9 trillion or 99 percent of its Rp 10 trillion allocation, reflecting strong absorption in retail and consumer lending.
