"BRILiaN Fest presents various events and activations dedicated to BRILiaN personnel such as family gathering, showcase and entertainment filled with well-known artists," he said in a written statement on Sunday, December 18.

According to Sunarso, the hard work of all parties involved has resulted in positive performance which is able to continue to grow and be more resilient in the midst of difficult situations due to the pandemic and global economic uncertainty.

"This positive result can also be seen from the contribution of BRI's dividends and taxes to the state of IDR 26.5 trillion in 2021," he said.

The BRI boss also said that as a bank with a backbone business in the MSME sector, his party was consistent in empowering and developing MSME business actors throughout Indonesia. This can be seen from the total credit and financing of BRI Group recorded at IDR 1,111.4 trillion or grew 7.9 percent.

In particular, BRI's MSME credit portfolio recorded an increase of 9.8 percent yoy from Rp852.1 trillion at the end of September 2021 to Rp935.8 trillion at the end of September 2022. This makes the proportion of MSME loans compared to BRI's total credit continue to increase, to 84.2 percent.
