Video: Bankers Rack Brains to Counter War's Impact on Bank Credit Quality

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The CEO of PT Bank KB Indonesia Tbk (BBKP), or KB Bank, Kurnardy Darma Lie, has assured the preparedness and relevance of strengthening the banking industry through the development of universal banking concepts. KB Bank also fully supports the government’s flagship programmes related to SME development through increased people’s business credit (KUR), without neglecting business development in the corporate and commercial sectors as the main growth engines. Additionally, KB Bank positions itself as a ‘one-stop solution’ through a banking and financial services ecosystem that provides services for consumer goods, natural resources, logistics, property, and the health sector. By 2026, KB Bank targets 10-11% growth in quality credit, driven by business transformation. Nevertheless, the banking sector is wary of the impact of global geopolitical turbulence that could potentially lead to a surge in inflation and weakening of the Rupiah’s exchange rate, which could affect credit quality.
