JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir invited private banks to participate in disbursing support for Home Ownership Loans (KPR) to support the realization of the program of 3 million houses made by President Prabowo Subianto.

Erick said that massive financing was needed to support the realization of 3 million houses. He said the government also expected the collaboration of private banks.

"Because of the massive 3 million (homes), we also expect the role of private banks to support this government program. So, we are not alone," Erick said at a press conference at the Bank Indonesia (BI) office, Jakarta, Tuesday night, February 11.

Erick said that the Association of State-Owned Banks (Himbara) needed to be supported by strong financing. Given, the need for home distribution to complete the backlog is still high at the level of 9.9 million units.

Not only will Erick maximize the distribution rate of subsidized mortgages in PT Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN), Erick ensures that other Himbaras such as PT Bank Mandiri, PT Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) to PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) will participate in expanding their housing financing portfolio.

In fact, PT Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) is also certain to be included.

"We are ready to implement it. After all, all this time also Himbara Banks such as BBTN, which is indeed 80 percent market rather than funding subsidized houses, are in us," he said.

It is known, on Tuesday night, February 11, the Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) Maruarar Sirait, Minister of SOEs Erick Thohir, Governor of Bank Indonesia (BI) Perry Warjiyo, Pandu Sjahrir as representatives of the Danantara to Chairman of Commission XI DPR RI Misbakhun held a coordination meeting to support the financing of the program of 3 million houses.

In order to support the distribution rate, BI is committed to flushing incentives of Rp. 23.2 trillion and will be increased to Rp. 80 trillion in banks that distribute mortgages of 3 million houses.

Perry believes that this policy will stimulate the increase in Indonesia's economic growth rate. Given, the housing sector itself has 185 derivative sectors that will be affected.

"We believe that housing will boost economic growth and create jobs. And Bank Indonesia's concrete support is that the provision of liquidity incentive policies, which are now IDR 23.2 trillion, will gradually increase to IDR 80 trillion," he said.
