JAKARTA - Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadive carried out a surprise inspection (sidak) at the Bank Mandiri Club Office, on Monday, October 6, 2025.

Meanwhile, this visit aims to monitor the distribution of government funds of Rp200 trillion to the Association of State-Owned Banks (Himbara).

Through the TikTok account @purbayayudhis, Purbaya said that most of the funds disbursed to Bank Mandiri had been disbursed in the form of credit to various sectors.

"I monitor, from the money we give them, 70 percent has been absorbed, it has been distributed," he explained.

He also opened the possibility of increasing funds for Bank Mandiri, with the hope that the funds could be allocated to the property and automotive sectors.

"Maybe they ask again if there are additions that can be channeled to other sectors. Maybe to property and automotive," he added.

Purbaya also mentioned that the distribution of these funds had a positive impact on Bank Mandiri's credit growth, which rose from 8 percent to almost 11 percent.

"So if I see, credit also grew from 8, now it's almost 11 percent. The latest data, not full for one month, right. So positive, positive signal. This means that my stimulus will run in the economy," he said.

With these developments, Purbaya is optimistic that national economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2025 can reach the figure above 5.5 percent.

"So I am positive in the fourth quarter, the economy will grow possibly above 5.5 percent," he said.

For information, Bank Mandiri reported that by the end of September 2025, Rp. 34.5 trillion or about 63 percent of the total government fund placement of Rp. 55 trillion had been successfully distributed.

Director of Finance & Strategy of Bank Mandiri Novita Widya Anggrainin said that the distribution of these funds is focused on sectors that have a direct impact on the community, such as the export-oriented labor-intensive industry and MSME players, which are the main sources of job creation in various regions.

He conveyed that through this distribution, Bank Mandiri showed its commitment to supporting millions of business actors to continue to develop, advance to class, and strengthen the economic structure of the people.

According to him, this realization also reflects the full government's trust and strengthens Bank Mandiri's commitment to supporting inclusive, fair and equitable economic growth.

Novita emphasized that this additional liquidity is an important catalyst in expanding the company's intermediation function.

"Bank Mandiri is optimistic that it can optimally absorb the placement of these funds by the end of this year with priority on labor-intensive sectors and industries as well as MSMEs that have proven to be able to support the economic life of families in various parts of Indonesia," explained Novita in her official statement, Monday, October 6.

Furthermore, Novita explained that Bank Mandiri also distributed loans to various other strategic sectors, such as plantations, food security, downstream natural resources and renewable energy, health services, manufacturing, and industrial estate development.

Dia menyampaikan fokus pembiayaan ini sejalan dengan agenda pemerintah dalam mendorong kemandirian ekonomi serta penguatan industri nasional berbasis nilai tambah domestik.

“Dengan tambahan penempatan dana Kementerian Keuangan sebesar Rp55 triliun, kapasitas pembiayaan Bank Mandiri semakin solid sehingga mampu mengakselerasi sektor-sektor prioritas. Hal ini sejalan dengan komitmen perseroan untuk memperluas inklusi keuangan sekaligus mempererat sinergi dengan program pemerintah,” ujarnya.

Selain itu, ia juga menegaskan akan memastikan pembiayaan tersalurkan tepat sasaran.

“Dengan akselerasi, sinergi, dan komitmen yang konsisten, kami meyakini langkah ini menjadi bukti nyata peran Bank Mandiri sebagai agen pembangunan yang tidak hanya mendukung korporasi besar, tapi juga memberdayakan ekonomi kerakyatan sebagai fondasi utama pertumbuhan nasional,” pungkas Novita.

He conveyed that the focus of financing is in line with the government's agenda in encouraging economic independence and strengthening the national industry based on domestic added value.

"With the additional placement of funds from the Ministry of Finance of IDR 55 trillion, Bank Mandiri's financing capacity is getting more solid so that it is able to accelerate priority sectors. This is in line with the company's commitment to expand financial inclusion while strengthening synergy with government programs," he said.

In addition, he also emphasized that he would ensure that financing was channeled on target.

"With consistent acceleration, synergy, and commitment, we believe this step is a clear proof of Bank Mandiri's role as a development agent that not only supports large corporations, but also empowers the people's economy as the main foundation of national growth," concluded Novita.
