BNI Distributes Rp13 Trillion Dividend to Shareholders
PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BNI) approved the distribution of a cash dividend of Rp13.03 trillion at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (RUPST) for the 2025 financial year held on Monday, 9 March 2026. This amount is equivalent to 65 per cent of consolidated net profit attributable to the parent company’s owners, totalling Rp20.04 trillion.
BNI’s Corporate Secretary, Okki Rushartomo, stated that the dividend distribution decision reflects the company’s commitment to continuing to provide optimal value to shareholders whilst maintaining the company’s fundamentals through strengthening the capital structure.
“A number of strategic decisions agreed upon at this RUPST represent part of efforts to maintain sustained performance and strengthen the company’s capital foundation going forward,” said Okki in a written statement.
At the meeting, shareholders also approved the allocation of 35 per cent of net profit, or approximately Rp7.01 trillion, as retained earnings. These funds will be utilised to support business expansion and strengthen BNI’s capital capacity amid the dynamics of the banking industry.
In addition to dividend distribution, the RUPST also approved plans for share buyback with a maximum transaction value of Rp905.48 billion, including transaction costs. This measure was undertaken whilst observing applicable regulations in the capital market, including trading mechanisms on the Indonesian Stock Exchange.
Okki explained that the buyback policy is one of the company’s instruments for maintaining share price stability whilst providing flexibility in company capital management.
“This buyback decision demonstrates management’s confidence in the company’s long-term prospects whilst providing room for flexibility in strengthening capital,” he said.
Shares resulting from the buyback will be held as treasury shares that can be transferred through resale on the Indonesian Stock Exchange or off-exchange. Additionally, these shares can be utilised for the implementation of share ownership programmes for employees and/or company officers.
At the same RUPST, shareholders also approved changes to the company’s articles of association regarding the reclassification of Series B shares owned by the State-Owned Enterprises Management Body into Series A Dwiwarna shares. The reclassification was made to 223,783,877 shares as part of compliance with the provisions of Law Number 16 of 2025.
According to Okki, this adjustment represents the company’s compliance with the latest regulations and a step to strengthen corporate governance as a state-owned enterprise.
Beyond the agenda of net profit usage, share buyback, and changes to articles of association, the RUPST also approved a number of other matters. These included approval of the annual report and consolidated financial statements for the 2025 financial year, determination of remuneration for the Board of Directors and Board of Commissioners for the 2026 financial year, and appointment of a public accountant for the 2026 financial year.
The meeting also received a report on the realisation of fund usage from the issuance of Sustainability Bond Stage I in 2025 and delegated authority to approve the Long-Term Work Plan (RJPP) 2026–2030 and the Company Work Plan and Budget (RKAP) 2027.
Through these various strategic decisions, BNI is confident it can continue to strengthen the company’s business fundamentals whilst maintaining growth momentum amid the increasingly competitive dynamics of the financial industry. The company also reaffirmed its commitment to continuing to create added value for shareholders and supporting national economic growth.
