Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The House of Representatives (DPR) has highlighted the decline in banking stocks following a wave of negative sentiment hitting the domestic stock market. The Deputy Speaker of the House, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, gathered the directors of Himbara (State-Owned Bank Association), alongside the Head of BP BUMN/Chief Operating Officer of Daya Anagata Nusantara (BPI Danantara) DKS Oskaria, and the State Secretary, Prasetyo Hadi.

The meeting addressed the current volatility in the stock market, specifically the slump in state-owned banking shares. All parties exchanged views regarding the market situation, ranging from Himbara’s performance to government perspectives.

“Today, the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia is conducting coordination, synchronisation, and evaluation regarding the current situation related to the banking situation in the country,” Dasco stated during a press conference at the DPR building in Jakarta on Tuesday (9/6/2026).

Dasco noted that based on performance and fundamentals, state-owned bank stocks could be considered for repurchase. “Perhaps the stocks that are currently good can be bought again,” he said.

During the same session, the President Director of PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BBNI), Putrama Wahju Setyawan, explained that the fundamental performance of state-owned banking stocks is currently in good condition. “We can convey that fundamentally, the performance within Himbara is very good, and currently, it is Himbara’s best performance,” he stated.

He noted that this is reflected in the performance data, with credit distribution from Himbara banks growing by approximately 20%, while Third-Party Funds (DPK) grew by around 20% to 30%. Furthermore, the liquidity of Himbara banks remains well-maintained, with the Loan-to-Deposit Ratio (LDR) at around 88% to 90%. Additionally, the average Non-Performing Loan (NPL) rate remains below 2%.

“Therefore, we can inform the media that Himbara’s fundamental performance is very good, so there is no need for concern or doubt regarding the fundamental conditions on the exchange,” he added.

Meanwhile, State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi expressed appreciation to the DPR for facilitating this meeting, which proves that the economic fundamentals of the banking sector are sufficiently strong. “Therefore, we thank Mr Dony, along with all the ranks in Himbara, as well as Taspen, BPJS, and INA, as market players, to continue coordinating and discussing so that, once again, we can work hard to overcome economic problems as we all hope,” he concluded.

The meeting was attended by Deputy Speaker of the DPR Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the directors of Himbara, the Head of BP BUMN/COO of Daya Anagata Nusantara Dony Oskaria, and the State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi. Representatives from state-owned enterprises included the President Directors of PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BBRI) Hery Gunardi, PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BBNI) Putrama Wahju Setyawan, PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk (BMRI) Riduan, Taspen Rony Hanityo Aprianto, INA Oki Ramadhana, and BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Saiful Hidayat.
