BRI Disbursed Rp 20 Trillion to State Companies

JAKARTA- Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) said it disbursed Rp20 trillion out of Rp30 trillion (US$3 billion) in new credits approved by the state lender to other state companies in the first half of this year.

Sofyan Basir the president of the state lender said demand for credits was weak and the bank management is more selective in disbursing new credits.

Sofyan said BRI has pledged new credits to 60 borrowers among state companies this year including those operating in telecommunications, electricity, and cement sectors.
He said all of the credits are syndicated involving mainly other major state banks like Bank Negara Indonesia and Bank Mandiri.
