Loan Distribution and Growth in Key Segments
By September, Bank Rakyat Indonesia had disbursed IDR 1,353.36 trillion in loans, reflecting an impressive year-on-year growth of 8.21%.

Sunarso emphasized that BRI’s role is pivotal in empowering MSMEs, which are essential for national economic growth.
Asset Quality Improvement
In addition to loan growth, BRI has effectively enhanced its asset quality. As of the third quarter of 2024, the bank reported a Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio of 2.90%, which illustrates a robust risk management strategy. Furthermore, the Loan at Risk (LAR) ratio improved to 11.66%. This effective management is complemented by an NPL coverage ratio of 215.44%, underscoring BRI's proactive approach in maintaining healthy financial indicators.
Expanding Digital Services
BRI's growth trajectory has been significantly bolstered by its digital transformation initiatives, particularly through the BRImo super-app. As of September, the app had successfully registered 37.14 million users. The transaction volume through BRImo surged dramatically, up 35.20% year-on-year, culminating in a total of IDR 4,034 trillion worth of transactions.

This substantial outreach reinforces BRI's commitment to fostering an inclusive economic environment.
Liquidity and Capital Management

According to Sunarso, the bank plans to maintain a prudent approach to liquidity, ensuring that BRI is well-prepared to meet both global and domestic economic challenges, paving the way for further growth.
