We will continue to accelerate our\ndigital transformation to provide services that are easier, safer and\nmore integrated, while creating sustainable value for the community,\u201d\nHery said on Thursday (22 October 2026).<\/p>\n
BRI\u2019s performance in the first half of 2026 also showed positive\ngrowth. The bank posted net profit of Rp31.2 trillion, up 17.5% year on\nyear. The result reflected BRI\u2019s ability to maintain profitability\nduring its business transformation while strengthening the foundations\nfor healthy, high-quality growth.<\/p>\n
In terms of lending, BRI\u2019s loans reached Rp1,645.5 trillion at the\nend of June 2026, an increase of 16.2% year on year. This growth was\nsupported by lending to the MSME segment, which totalled Rp1,235.4\ntrillion, up 8.6% year on year.<\/p>\n
As of June 2026, the Ultra Micro Holding had served around 33.8\nmillion borrowers and managed 166.3 million savings accounts, while\nhelping 2.3 million borrowers move up to a larger business scale. By\nintegrating financial services and empowerment initiatives within the\necosystem, it has opened access to formal financing for ultra-micro\nbusinesses and helped them build capacity and expand into higher\nbusiness segments.<\/p>\n
Alongside financing, BRI runs various empowerment programmes to build\nMSME capabilities and broaden their market access. By June 2026, Desa\nBRILiaN had reached more than 5,700 villages, while Klasterku Hidupku\ncovered more than 44,000 business clusters. Through digital channels,\nlinkumkm by BRI had reached around 17.3 million MSME operators, while\naround 596,000 business owners had taken part in Rumah BUMN.<\/p>\n
\u201cMSMEs are not only the company\u2019s core business, but also a vital\nfoundation for national economic growth. BRI\u2019s role therefore goes\nbeyond that of a financial intermediary: it is also an enabler,\nsupporting businesses from their earliest stages, helping them build\ncapacity and competitiveness, and enabling them to move up to the next\nlevel. We want BRI\u2019s growth to go hand in hand with the progress of\nMSMEs and the people\u2019s economy,\u201d Hery said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bri-wins-four-awards-for-promoting-financial-inclusion-1793163080", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
