BNI Poised to Distribute IDR 13 Trillion Cash Dividend
PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk approved a cash dividend distribution of IDR 13.03 trillion to shareholders at its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGMS) for the 2025 financial year on Monday, 9 March 2026. This amount is equivalent to 65 per cent of BNI’s consolidated net profit, which reached IDR 20.04 trillion.
BNI’s Corporate Secretary Okki Rushartomo stated that the decision was made to maintain a balance between returning value to shareholders and strengthening the company’s capital base.
“A number of strategic decisions agreed upon at this AGMS are part of efforts to maintain sustainable performance whilst strengthening the foundation of the company’s capital,” said Okki in a written statement on Tuesday, 10 March 2026.
In addition to the dividend, shareholders also approved the allocation of 35 per cent of net profit, or approximately IDR 7.01 trillion, as retained earnings. These funds will be used to support business expansion and strengthen BNI’s capital capacity amid banking industry competition.
The AGMS also approved a share buyback plan with a maximum value of IDR 905.48 billion. This step is being undertaken whilst adhering to applicable capital market regulations.
According to Okki, the buyback represents one of the company’s strategies to maintain share price stability whilst providing flexibility in capital management.
“This buyback decision demonstrates management’s confidence in the company’s long-term prospects,” he said.
Shares acquired through the buyback will be retained as treasury shares. These shares can be transferred through resale on the Indonesia Stock Exchange or off-market. Additionally, the shares can be utilised for employee and management share ownership programmes.
At the same meeting, shareholders approved amendments to the Articles of Association regarding the reclassification of a portion of state-owned Series B shares into Series A Dwiwarna shares. The reclassification covered 223,783,877 shares as an adjustment to changes in state-owned enterprise regulations.
Okki stated that this step represented the company’s compliance with the latest regulations and was part of strengthening corporate governance.
“This adjustment is part of the company’s compliance with applicable regulations whilst ensuring optimal corporate governance continues to be maintained,” he said.
The AGMS also ratified the annual report and consolidated financial statements for the 2025 financial year, set the remuneration of the board of directors and commissioners for 2026, and appointed a public accountant for the 2026 financial year. Through these decisions, BNI hopes to maintain business performance whilst strengthening the company’s capital base to support growth amid increasingly intense competition in the financial services industry.
