JAKARTA - PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BBRI has confirmed that it will provide dividends to shareholders. This aims to provide added value for investors.
BRI President Director, Sunarso said, the provision of dividends was based on banking efforts to maintain the company's capital adequacy. Sunarso said, currently BRI's capital is at a sufficient level.
"Our capital is far more than sufficient, because our CAR is 26 percent. If we say that prudently we only need 17.5 percent CAR, and then every year we only need to consume 2 percent CAR, actually for the next five years, I say again and again, for the next five years BRI does not need to increase its capital," he said in a performance presentation, Wednesday, February 12.
For this reason, Sunarso ensured that BRI would continue to distribute dividends regardless of the profit that BRI managed to pocket while still conducting an in-depth evaluation of the risk.
"For the next five years, whatever profit is actually worth sharing. Stay but we have to evaluate, what kind of risk cover, then we are also not reckless about it," continued Sunarso.
Regarding the amount of the profit ratio to be distributed to shareholders, Sunarso emphasized that the amount of which will be distributed this year is no less than the previous year.
"I think maybe hopefully it won't be less than last year, in the range of 80-85 percent, something like that," he explained.
