JAKARTA - Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani openly gave appreciation to PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia Tbk. (BRI) which successfully achieved positive performance throughout 2021 with a net profit of IDR 32.2 trillion on a bank only basis. This was conveyed when he was a speaker at the BRI Microfinance Outlook 2022 which was held today.

The Minister of Finance himself does not seem to want to be left behind in showing the results of his work which also recorded achievements last year. He threw a joking statement to the President Director of BRI Sunarso who was present on the occasion.

"The performance of our state budget has strengthened (in 2021). If Mr. Sunarso said earlier that he managed to make a profit of Rp. 30 trillion, I can also show off a little that our revenue is above 100 percent," he said through a virtual channel on Thursday, February 10.

According to the Minister of Finance, this condition indicates that economic activity has actually moved towards a better recovery level.

"This is proof that together we are recovering, because if the economy is good, it means that we will also lead to a better situation," he said.

According to VOI records, Bank Rakyat Indonesia was able to show strong work throughout last year with evidence of a profit of IDR 32.2 trillion in 2021. The book was inseparable from the company's credit growth which rose 7.16 percent year-on-year (yoy).

The indication of recovery is clear from the micro segment which recorded a growth of 12.98 percent. Meanwhile, the consumer segment grew 3.97 percent, the small and medium segment grew 3.55 percent and the corporate segment grew 2.37 percent. This is in line with BRI's aspiration to focus on the MSME segment.

In terms of the 2021 State Budget study, the state revenue sector managed to score a realization of IDR 2,003 trillion, equivalent to 114.9 percent of the target set out in the law of IDR 1,743.6 trillion.

This means that the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani succeeded in obtaining a surplus of Rp. 259.5 trillion throughout last year.
