*Solid Result, But Challenges Ahead: Bank Central Asia (BBCA.IJ) [BCA] reported 3Q21 results of IDR 8.7 tn, improving IDR 1.3 tn (17.9%) on a linked quarter basis. BCA’s positive operating performance was highlighted by a loss provision cut of 66.5%, a slightly reduced tax rate, and a modest decline in costs; and*Credit Challenges Abating: By our calculation, we find that 3Q21 net new NPLs amounted to IDR 942 bn for an annualized rate of increase of 27.2%, and comparing very favorably to the 92.4% rate in 2Q21. Despite the significant deceleration in net new NPL formation, we calculate that loss reserves are likely right where they need to be.

Insights across South East Asia

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

<div class="content-highlight">
There have been ongoing signs that the competition within the digital finance space is starting to reach a hiatus as it moves up a gear both for the existing banks, as well as the digital economy players including GoTo, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/grabtaxi-holdings-pte-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26950:1" rel="noopener">Grab</a>, and Shopee (<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/sea-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:8509:1" rel="noopener">Sea Ltd (SE US)</a>).  
</div>
Competition between digital banks and conventional banks has started to heat up in Indonesia and is only going to accelerate the digitization trend in the industry. In August, some digital banks were offering interest rates of 7% - 8% on current account deposits.
<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bank-jago-tbk-pt" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:31094:1" rel="noopener">Bank Jago Tbk PT (ARTO IJ)</a> recorded a sevenfold annual increase in credit lending in 1H2021 and the bank plans to jack up its lending further through partnerships with peer-to-peer (P2P) lenders and multi-finance companies,
While some of these new digital banks might seem small compared to major established lenders, their ecosystem support and a steady stream of funding from big tech will make them potentially a formidable foe to the conventional banks.
Digitalization in the banking industry is inevitable and it is likely that the use-case for conventional and digital banking are likely to converge in a number of areas as digital banks become the new normal. 
We expect digital banking to be initially focused on consumer banking and SMEs and do not expect any major infringement into corporate banking, which still makes up the majority of the larger bank's business
Another very interesting area currently is the rapid pace of development and movement within the digital payments landscape in Indonesia.
There is little doubt that <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/grabtaxi-holdings-pte-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26950:1" rel="noopener">Grab</a> is looking for partners to push out its digital finance aspirations.

We continue to favour <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bank-rakyat-indonesia-persero" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:484:1" rel="noopener">Bank Rakyat Indonesia Persero (BBRI IJ)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bank-negara-indonesia-persero" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:8285:1" rel="noopener">Bank Negara Indonesia Persero (BBNI IJ)</a> in the sector.

Many of these banks are still trading below, or at least in line, with their historical 3-year average PBRs. Given my expectation of profitability improvements over the next 3 years, their current valuations are still reasonably attractive.
