Bank Rakyat Indonesia – Increasingly Digitalised Micro Champion

By Angus Mackintosh

  • Despite what looked like a solid set of 1Q2022 results, Bank Rakyat Indonesia has seen a sharp correction in its share price, which looks unjustified given a positive outlook.
  • The bank has 84% of its loan exposure to micro and ultra-micro customers, which generates higher returns than corporate lending plus it is improving returns through increasing digitalisation.
  • Management guidance for this year remains positive, and the bank is well-positioned to take advantage of the economic recovery with abundant liquidity and a low cost of funds.
