BRI Welcomes Positive Support from Various Parties for the Capital Market

JAKARTA - In the midst of the movement of the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) which is still in the negative zone year-to-date, attention to state-owned companies' shares has increased again.

This emerged in a meeting between the Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi, BPI COO Danantara Dony Oskaria, BRI President Director Hery Gunardi, the Directors of Himbara, BPJS Employment, and a number of SOEs in Jakarta (09/06).

The meeting discussed various strategic steps to maintain the stability of the capital market and strengthen investor confidence, including the discourse of buyback of state-owned enterprise issuers' shares.

BRI President Director Hery Gunardi assessed that the attention of various stakeholders reflects confidence in the long-term prospects of SOEs, especially the banking sector which continues to show solid performance and fundamentals.

According to Hery, maintaining market stability is an important factor in supporting a healthy investment climate.

"Investor confidence in national banking stocks is supported by the industry's performance, which remains resilient amid global economic dynamics. The banking industry still records positive credit growth, maintained asset quality, and strong liquidity and capital conditions," said Hery.

Hery, who also serves as the General Chairman of Perbanas, added that the fundamentals of the national banking industry remain strong to date. Based on OJK data, as of April 2026, bank credit grew 9.98% year-on-year, while third-party funds (DPK) increased 11.40%.

"The continued strong growth in credit and community fund-raising shows that public confidence in the banking industry is still well maintained, reflecting the effective functioning of the intermediation function," explained Hery.

For BRI, strengthening market confidence is primarily built through consistent performance. The company continues to focus on maintaining asset quality, strengthening capital and liquidity, and creating sustainable added value for shareholders.

"Regarding the buyback discourse, every corporate action will certainly be carefully studied and implemented in accordance with the applicable regulator's provisions. Currently, our main focus remains on strengthening the company's fundamentals and creating long-term value for all stakeholders," concluded Hery. (ADV)
