Is IBRA effective?
Is IBRA effective?
From Neraca
It is said that the Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency
(IBRA) is managed by professionals. However, according to Rizal
Ramli it is managed by amateurs. Those in charge at IBRA are paid
more than ministers and even the President, yet their performance
continues to be questioned.
The deputy chairman of House of Representatives Commission IV,
Rosyid Hidayat, pointed out the conspiracy to use up the assets
currently handled by IBRA. Even Vice President Megawati
Soekarnoputri has criticized IBRA's lethargic performance.
Many of the buildings of liquidated banks are neglected. Some of
the glass, tiles and other items of value in the buildings have
been stolen. And only 20 percent of the assets under IBRA's
control has been sold.
As reported in the mass media, there are some former debtors
who have paid off their debts yet are still having difficulty
getting back their assets. I question the efficiency and
effectiveness of IBRA.
