JAKARTA, Indonesia, April 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PT. Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (IDX: BBRI) announced a robust profit of IDR 15.98 trillion for the first quarter of 2024, despite challenging global economic and geopolitical conditions. At the financial performance press conference, BRI's President Director Sunarso discussed the impact of high US interest rates and Middle East tensions on the Rupiah and stock indices, expressing optimism and highlighting domestic resilience. Sunarso emphasized, "BRI recognizes Indonesia's current economic resilience amidst global instability and remains dedicated to supporting government initiatives for domestic economic growth." Notably, BRI's support for the SME sector remained strong, with loans amounting to IDR 1,308.65 trillion, a 10.89% increase year-over-year, primarily directed towards SMEs, resulting in BRI's assets reaching IDR 1,989.07 trillion, a 9.11% rise.

All BRI loan segments experienced growth, particularly in the micro, consumer, small and medium, and corporate sectors, while maintaining stable credit quality, with a Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio of approximately 3.11% by the end of Q1 2024. On the liabilities side, BRI accumulated Third-Party Funds (TPF) totaling IDR 1,416.21 trillion, marking a 12.80% increase year-on-year as of March 2024. Current Account Savings Account (CASA) continued to dominate the deposit portfolio, growing by 7.80% year-on-year, in line with BRI's strategy to bolster its funding base with stable and sustainable low-cost funding from CASA.

BRI maintained strong financial ratios by March 2024, with an 83.28% Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) and a robust 23.97% Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), allowing for further growth. Additionally, a 6.92% year-over-year growth in Fee Based Income (FBI) drove profit growth, with the super app BRImo boasting 33.5 million users by March 2024, a 30.3% increase from the previous year. Sunarso noted, "BRImo processed 969 million financial transactions totaling IDR 1.251 trillion in three months, a 41.8% year-over-year increase."

AgenBRILink also made a substantial contribution to BRI's FBI, recording 285 million transactions valued at IDR 370 trillion from January to March 2024, generating IDR 395 billion. By March 2024, BRI had expanded its network to 796,836 agents across 61,122 Indonesian villages.
