JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto will replace the board of directors of Bank Himbara which is considered to be detrimental to the country. This was said by Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin.
He also said that so far many state banks and other state-owned enterprises (BUMN) are considered to have less profit for the country. This can happen because many company directors do not work optimally, even tend to benefit themselves.
Responding to the discourse, the Director of the Center of Economic and Law Studies (Celios) Bhima Yudhistira said that the overhaul of the Bank BUMN's board of directors was not to improve performance but to ensure the distribution of credit to priority programs such as MBG to the Red and White Village Cooperative.
Moreover, he continued, the reform is feared to be filled by a key circle that has interests.
"The problem is that the intervention of SOEs' directors risks becoming a bad loan," he said in a short message to VOI, Jakarta, Tuesday, February 3.
He explained that, considering only supporting government programs, the quality of banking credit will be threatened.
"That is a threat to the stability of the financial sector," he said.
As is known, the discussion of the reform of the Board of Directors of Himbara Banks is considered to have the potential to create perceptions of uncertainty in the public and market, even though it is not based on fundamental performance and the real contribution of banks to national development.
On the other hand, by 2025, a number of banks have recorded solid fundamental performance, strong liquidity, and well-managed risks, as well as carrying out the strategic mandate as a state instrument in supporting government priority programs and Asta Cita.
