"The fundamental strength that we continue to build is an important capital for BRI to maintain healthy growth with quality assets that remain maintained. We are optimistic that this positive momentum will continue through the strengthening of digitalization, the implementation of disciplined risk management,
"We will also focus on sustainable value creation for all stakeholders," said Hery.
Hery emphasized that in the future, BRI will continue to strengthen its role as a bank that is pro-people's economy by making MSMEs the center of growth.
