Insights across South East Asia

Equity Bottom-Up

<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> has just announced plans for a long-awaited rights issue, representing 23.25% of its total equity, which potentially lifts an overhang for the bank.
Part of the proceeds of the rights issue will be used to acquire government pawnshop operator, PT Pegadaian, as well as ultra-micro lender PT Permodalan Nasional Madani (PNN). 
<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bank-rakyat-indo-agroniaga" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:16626:1" rel="noopener">Bank Rakyat Indo Agroniaga (AGRO IJ)</a>,  a subsidiary of <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>, has already been selected as its digital banking arm. Given that there is significant excess capital being generated from this rights issue after the expropriation value on the acquisitions, we see <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bank-rakyat-indo-agroniaga" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:16626:1" rel="noopener">Bank Rakyat Indo Agroniaga (AGRO IJ)</a> as a potential recipient of some of this new capital.
One notable digital player which has yet to enter the space in Indonesia is <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/grabtaxi-holdings-pte-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26950:1" rel="noopener">Grab</a> and there is already a relationship between <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/grabtaxi-holdings-pte-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26950:1" rel="noopener">Grab</a> and <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>, with the bank's venture capital arm recently investing in <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/grabtaxi-holdings-pte-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26950:1" rel="noopener">Grab</a>. 
We see a strong likelihood of some form of collaboration between <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/grabtaxi-holdings-pte-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26950:1" rel="noopener">Grab</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bank-rakyat-indo-agroniaga" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:16626:1" rel="noopener">Bank Rakyat Indo Agroniaga (AGRO IJ)</a>, which would be mutually beneficial.
We take a positive view on both <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> after the announcement of the rights issue, with approval likely on 22nd July.
