Liquidity saw an early improvement in Jun 25 as LDR at major SOE banks eased, current account balances rose, and M2 growth accelerated as government funds shifted out of BI. Coupled with lower SRBI yields, this led to easing monthly CoF. The trend could persist on the back of: a) continued unwinding of SRBI and lower yields, b) potential rate cuts in 2H25, and c) stronger fiscal spending in 2H25, supporting modest sequential earnings improvements ahead.

BBRI’s 2Q25 results are showing early signs of stabilisation in funding and asset quality, though earnings remain under pressure from high provisioning and soft micro growth. The bank is shifting towards consumers and corporate lending to diversify its risks. NIM is expected to remain strong, supported by funding mix and a higher contribution from Pegadaian. We reduce our 2025 net profit forecast by 5.0% and lower our target price to Rp4,250. BBRI offers an 8.3% dividend yield (DPR: 85%). Mainta...

We expect the banking sector’s 1H25 results to be broadly in line with expectations, despite a possible underperformance from BBRI and BRIS. BBCA remains strong while BBNI and BMRI should post muted earnings growth. NIM pressure is likely to persist due to tight liquidity. Loan growth decelerated but is expected to recover in 2H25. NPLs for auto and mortgage are inching up, but overall asset quality remains sound. We maintain OVERWEIGHT, supported by a dovish BI policy, easing SRBI yields and ex...
Loan growth slowed to 8.1% yoy in May 25 due to tight liquidity and weak credit appetite. Deposit growth remained soft at 3.9% yoy, weighed down by front-loaded government bond issuance, diverting liquidity. We expect BI to continue unwinding SRBI and deliver further rate cuts in 2H25. Fiscal spending showed early signs of acceleration to Rp1,406t in 6M25 (5M25: Rp1,016t). With the deficit revised to 2.78% of GDP, further fiscal spending is anticipated. Maintain OVERWEIGHT on the sector.

The JCI rebounded to about 7,000 after bottoming out at 5,968 on 9 April, following a series of developments including corporate buyback announcements, the creation of Danantara, and market anticipation of a BI rate cut which materialised on 21 May (25bp cut). Catalysts to monitor in 2H25 include: a) further BI rate cut(s), b) a slowdown in SRBI reissuance which would free up banking liquidity, c) further government economic stimulus measures, and d) heavier government spending.

We met with 12 investors in Kuala Lumpur, and the overall tone among Malaysian-based funds can be best described as cautious but engaged. Indonesia remains firmly on their radar, but several overhangs persist, particularly around the evolving political landscape, policy clarity, the free meal programme and weak purchasing power. 2H25 government spending and a further rate cut are catalysts, in our view. Our year-end target for the JCI is 7,500.

Liquidity remains tight with deposit growth slowing and industry LDR rising to 90% in Apr 25. Banks relied on BI repo facilities while the overnight rate has consistently surpassed BI rate in recent weeks. Nevertheless, we expect liquidity to improve in 2H25 due to the recent rate cut, lower PLM, and higher foreign borrowing limits. SRBI issuance has eased though it remains substantial. Expected higher fiscal spending in 2H25 could facilitate greater liquidity. Maintain OVERWEIGHT on the sector.
