DEPOK (eNBe Indonesia) - Bank Central Asia (BBCA), the largest company on IDX by market capitalization, booked a net profit of Rp11.5 trillion in the first quarter (Q1) of 2023, a 43.0% growth year on year (y/y).
State bank BRI, the largest in terms of total assets, meanwhile, recorded net profit of Rp15.56 trillion in the quarter, expanded by 27.4% from the corresponding period last year.
BCA’s achievement was underpinned by credit expansion, improved loan quality, higher yields from placements in government bonds as one of the sources for financing national development, and growth in fee and commission income in line with the increase in transaction volume.
BBCA posted a 12.0% y/y increase in total loans to Rp713.8 trillion as of March 2023.
Corporate loans increased 11.7% y/y to Rp320.5 trillion in said period. With rising business activities, commercial and SME loans grew 11.8% y/y to Rp211.1 trillion.
BCA’s loan growth was accompanied by an improvement in loan quality, as the Bank’s restructured loans gradually recovered into normal payment term.
The Loan at Risk (LAR) ratio improved to 9.5% in Q1 of 2023, lower than 13.8% in the previous year. Meanwhile, the Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio was recorded at 1.8%, lower than 2.3% in the previous year.
On the funding side, CASA increased 5.7% y/y to Rp843.3 trillion in March 2023, contributing 81.2% to total third-party funds.
Third-party funds grew by 4.1% y/y to Rp1,039 trillion, supporting total asset growth of 4.9% y/y to Rp1,322 trillion. BCA posted a positive growth in net interest income for Q1 of 2023, up 28.0% y/y to Rp18.5 trillion.

That said, the high inflation slightly reduces loan growth, both for BRI & the industry. BRI exhibits a better ability to recover to baseline loan growth within 2 quarter compared to the industry, which requires 5-6 quarter.
Indonesia has experienced various inflationary cycles in the past decades, mainly due to rising fuel prices (2005, 2008, 2013, and 2014).
Historically, BRI said it has been able to maintain positive loan growth and relatively manageable loan quality during those inflationary cycles, primarily attributable to the micro loan stable performance.
