JAKARTA - Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadive ensured that the placement of government funds of Rp200 trillion from Bank Indonesia to national banks would be carried out this afternoon, Friday, September 12, 2025, which was distributed to five Himbara banks.

Purbaya said the funds would be channeled to members of the Association of State-Owned Banks (Himbara), namely Bank Mandiri, BNI, and BRI each amounting to Rp55 trillion, then BTN amounting to Rp25 trillion, and Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) receiving an allocation of Rp10 trillion.

"Because I promise to place Rp200 trillion in banking funds, it has been decided and this afternoon it has been distributed, we will send it to five independent banks, BRI, BTN, BNI, BSI. In independent, we put Rp55 trillion BRI Rp55 trillion BTN Rp25 trillion BNI Rp55 trillion BSI Rp10 trillion," he explained when met before a meeting with Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto at the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy Office, Central Jakarta, Friday, September 12.

He explained that the placement of government funds in BSI was because this bank was the only one who had access to Aceh, so that the people there could also feel the benefits.

"Because of the size of the bank and why did BSI join? Because he is the only bank that has access to Aceh so that the funds can also be used in Aceh," he said.

He conveyed that this fund was channeled in the form of a deposit on call, namely government deposits in banks that can be withdrawn at any time with prior notifications.

According to Purbaya, this mechanism will encourage banks to immediately channel funds to the productive sector, because of the cost burden on the funds that have been deposited so that banks will be encouraged to look for higher returns.

"Maybe the bank is running out, confused about where to distribute it? It must slowly become a credit so that the economy can move," he said.

The government has also issued a Decree of the Minister of Finance (KMK) as the legal basis for the placement of these funds.

In the KMK, recipient banks are asked not to use these funds to buy Government Securities (SBN), but to prioritize them for lending to support economic activities.

"The goal is to create liquidity in the financial system so that they are forced to give credit and the economy will move," he said.
