111 Years Building the Nation

PT. Bank Rakyat Indonesia is the oldest bankin Indonesia. Started from a small financialinstitution founded by Raden Bei AriaWiriaatmadja in Purwokerto, Central Java onDecember 16, 1895, later it was named DePoerwokertosche Hulp en Spaarbank derInlandsche. In the beginning, this institutionmanaged the mosque’s funds as a source ofloans disbursed to the people in the neighborhoodwith a very easy repayment scheme.

As the time passed by, the institution has been growing and become the needof the community. The name of this institution underwent several changes inthis chronological order: Hulp-en Spaarbank der Inlandsche Bestuur Ambtenareen, De Poerwokertosche Hulp Spaar-en Landbouw Credietbank (Volksbank),Centrale Kas Voor Volkscredietwezen Algemene (1912) and AlgemeneVolkscredietbank (AVB) in 1934.

During the Japanese colonization, AVB was transformed into Syomin Ginko.The Japan’s lost in the World War II led to Indonesian independence in 1945.The Indonesian government then changed the bank name into Bank RakyatIndonesia (BRI) on February 22, 1946. Under the Government Regulation ofthe Republic of Indonesia No. 1, 1946, BRI became the first state-owned bankin Indonesia.

As the state-owned bank, BRI has played a number of important roles in realizingthe government vision to develop people’s economy. In 1960, Indonesiangovernment changed BRI into Bank Koperasi, Tani dan Nelayan (The Bank forCooperation, Farmers, and Fishermen). Then stipulated by the Law No. 21,1968, the government designated “Bank Rakyat Indonesia” as a commercialbank; and in conjunction with the Banking Law No. 7, 1992, BRI changed itsname and legal status as PT. Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero).

In November 10, 2003, BRI went public and government divested 30% of itsshares. Since listed in the Jakarta Stock Exchange until now, BRI shares’ pricehas been rising continuously and categorized as blue chips in LQ45. With 43.03%of public ownership, BRI’s shares are actively traded in capital market.

Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb.

All praises and gratefulness to God Almighty forall His blessing that we have so far felt so thatBRI could successfully go through the year 2006,which is reflected in the current achievementexceeding the predetermined target .

Together, we can feel the flow of our economyin 2006, which probably has become a “test” forsome economic players. The lingering impact ofthe world oil price, early-year inflation whichcaused the increasing prices of produced goodsas well as commodities as a result of the previous-year fuel price increase, two-digit interest rateat the beginning of the year which lasted untilfew months forward, some natural disasters, andsome other unfavorable macro economic

conditions were a number of things burdeningthe economic players in driving the economy. Itis really God great blessings that all of us haveto be thankful so that BRI could go through theyear 2006 successfully—that BRI can keep itsposition as the leading State-Owned Bank in theIndonesian banking industry.

Bank Indonesia had stated that for the last threeyears the national banking industry hadundergone significant improvements which canbe seen from improving financial indicators in anumber of banks, such as the growth of totalassets, the growth of loans, the growth ofdeposits, banks’ CAR, and the decline of nonperforming loans (NPL).

BRI has been able to show good performancefor the last several years until 2006. In 2006 BRIbecame the most profitable bank in Indonesia.This was reflected in the 2006’s profit, whichwas higher than the previous year (2005), andalso the achievement of most of the targetspredetermined in the 2006 Annual Budget. Weneed also to be grateful to God that BRI keepsgaining trust from capital market, indicated bystable and improving share price.

Those achievements are definitely the results ofhard work and support from all the stakeholders,including shareholders, Commissioners,Directors, BRI’s employees of all levels, suppliers,and other related parties. May all those hardwork and support be well maintained so that BRIcan maintain the quality and quantity of itssustainable growth. What has so far been wellachieved has to be maintained or even improvedin the coming years. Commissioners would liketo greatly appreciate the management of alllevels and all stakeholders for their hard workand support in 2006.

Even though the macro economic condition in

2007 is predicted to be improving, we still needto work hard to achieve maximum results, keepingin mind the increasing public demands for bankingservices and the tighter banking competition. Inaddition, risk management needs to be improvedso that BRI can minimize risks resulting fromevery single banking activity by implementinggood corporate governance with consistencyand discipline.

In pursuing the growth of loans and financing, itis recommended that BRI be consistent with itsrole in developing micro, small, and mediumbusinesses, including farming which has becomeits core business and brand image, by operatingon the basis of prudential banking practices inhealthy loan disbursements.

On the other hand, the development of the overallbusiness is expected to run according to theBusiness Plan. Commissioners will keepsupporting the management in meeting all theregulation of Indonesian Banking Architecture,Good Corporate Governance, Internal Controland Risk Management, as well as businessprocess best practices. All of these will allow BRIto grow its business well and maintain itssustainable growth, which had been achievedso far.

Looking at improving macro economic conditionin 2007, Commissioners greatly hope that BRIwill perform much better. Vast networks, bignumber of debtors, stable business fundamentals,as well as employees’ and customers’ loyaltycan become the added values for BRI to competewith other national banks. Competent humanresources and reliable information technologyare also essential for BRI to operate better, satisfypublic demands for quality banking services, aswell as to be more efficient and profitable.

Supports from all related parties are a crucial

element in realizing that expectation. Thank youvery much for supports that have so far beengiven and are expected to always be given toBRI that it can keep becoming a leadingcommercial bank, which always prioritizescustomers’ satisfaction, and to be the best bankin Indonesia.

With all those supports, Commissioners greatlylook forward for a continue improvements ofBRI’s performance which in turn will give a greatcontribution to the development of Indonesia’seconomy.

May Allah SWT, God Almighty, always guide andcomfort every one of us. Amen.

Dear Stakeholders,

All praises and gratefulness to God Almighty, allof us could go through the year of 2006.

The year of 2006 was the year of dynamics forIndonesian economy as well as Indonesianbanking industry. A industry which is greatlyaffected by macro economic fluctuations. Theimpact of government policy to lift some of oilsubsidies in October 2005, which lead to theskyrocketed oil price was still felt in the early2006 . The price hike had caused the inflationto increase from 9.06% in September 2005 to17.11% by end of 2005 and was continuing toincrease to 17.92% in February 2006.Responding to the inflation pressure, BankIndonesia was increasing its benchmark interest

Report of the President DirectorSofyan Basir

ANNUAL REPORT 2006 BRI 13

With loan growth above the average of bankingindustry, BRI could increase its market share from10.86% by the end of December 2005 to 11.40%by the end of December 2006. The loan growthwas steered up by growth in loans to micro, smalland medium businesses.

rate – BI Rate - gradually, from 9.50% in August2005 to 12.75% by end of 2005, and wasmaintained in that level until May 2006. Thecompounding effect of oil price hike andincreasing interest rate had affected people’spurchasing power, lead to declining growth ofIndonesia’s economy as it was driven mostlyby domestic consumptions. In the first quarterof 2006, the growth was at 4.98%, lower thanprevious year’s first quarter growth which reached6.06%

Indonesia’s macro economy was starting to pickup in the early of second semester of 2006.Exports were rising significantly, to reach USD9.50 billion by end of December 2006, or grew17% year on year, caused by a hefty priceincrease of Indonesia’s export commodities. Theincreasing export was behind Indonesia’sbalance of payment surplus, which stayed atUSD 4.27 billion by end of December 2006.

Throughout 2006, inflation had been successfullytamed, and showed a declining trend, from17.11% by end of December 2005 to become6.60% by end of December 2006. Controllableinflation had triggered Bank Indonesia’s to startit’s cutting rate policy. The BI Rate (the interestrate benchmark) was slashed in stages, from12.75% on May 2006 to become 9.75% by theend of December 2006.

The banking industry reflected what was trendingin the macro economic fundamentals. Banksexperienced though conditions both in lendingside and funding side. Increasing interest ratehad made banks’ cost of funds surging, bothbecause of increasing deposit rate , in line withthe trend of BI Rate, and also because of theshift of depositors toward more expensive fundsof time deposits.

In the first semester of 2006, the shock due to

oil price hike has caused a laggard movementsof the real sector economy. An apparentsubsequent impact of that was a low demand ofloans, well reflected in the growth of loan andthe quality of loans in the period. Loan’s growthwas remarkably low, only 2.80%, and the qualityof the loans was worsened, indicated by higherNon Performing Loans (NPLs) which reached8.33% by end of June 2006 from 7.56% by endof December 2005. Meanwhile, deposits wasgrowing faster, from Rp1.13 trillion by end ofDecember 2005 to Rp1.17 trillion or grew 3.57% resulted in an excess of liquidity in the bankingsystem.

The excess liquidity experienced by many bankshad lead to an increasing portion of SBI (BankIndonesia Bill), as banks placed their unabsorbedfunds into SBI. The SBI had been seen as asafe investment instrument which offers arelatively attractive yield at the time, in line withBI Rate upward trend. The SBI held by banksby the end of June 2006 reached Rp139.81trillion , soared 157.68% from end of December2005’s position of only Rp54.26 trillion

Significant growth of bank’s loans – at 10.79%- occurred in the second semester of 2006, inline with Indonesia’s macro economic improvingcondition. By end of December 2006, total loanshovered at Rp792.3 trillion, and the NPLs wasturning down to 6.07% from 7.56% in the previoussemester. Growth of loans had surpassed thegrowth of deposits, lead to higher Loan to DepositRatio (LDR) of 61.56% by end of December2006 from 59.66% by end of December 2005

In contrast with fluctuations occurred in thebanking industry, BRI had again successfullyproved its business model sustainability andstability, by recording a steady high loan growththroughout the cycle of interest rate movementsin 2006. In an increasing interest rate period

14

Page 17: Bri Annual Report 2006 Part 1 A

ANNUAL REPORT 2006 BRI 15

such as the first semester of 2006 BRI hadrecorded a loans growth of 8.91%. In the secondsemester 2006, the time when many banksstarted to disburse loans aggressively, BRI waskeeping its prudent loan policy, and recording astable loan growth of 9.76%. With that growth,by end of December 2006, BRI’s total loansreached Rp90.28 trillion an increase from endof December 2005 position of Rp75.53 trillion,or a yearly growth of 19.53%, well above bankingindustry’s growth of 14.10%.

BRI’s loan growth was steered up by growth inloans to micro and small businesses, thesegments in which BRI had its competence andits long time commitments. Growth of loans tomicro businesses was 19.75% year on year,while loans to small businesses grew 13.34%year on year. In the other hand, contribution ofconsumer loans in BRI’s total loan growth wasgetting smaller, from 21.90% in 2005 to 21.22%in 2006. This smaller portion of consumer loansin BRI’s loan portfolio was rooted from a growthof 15.81%, which was bellow the growth of loansto micro, small and medium businesses whichat the same period reached 20.55%. Thiscomposition of loan portfolio had shown BRI’scommitment to Micro, Small and MediumEnterprises and so as to show BRI’s directinvolvement in moving Indonesia’s real sectoreconomy

A different picture was shown in the IndonesianBanking Industry’s trend in general. The role ofconsumer loans was seemed to be stillprominent. Consumer loans had been the majordrive of growth in banks’ loans, reaching a 9.51%during 2006.

Constant high loan growth achieved by BRI hadlead to an increasing market share of loan, toreach 11.40% by the end of December 2006,from 10.86% by the end of December 2005,

while the gross NPLs successfully be kept atbelow 5%.

As a consequence of Bank Indonesia’s tighteningpolicy of increasing interest rate started in late2005 up until the middle of 2006 BRI’s cost offunds had increased, from 4.96% by end ofDecember 2005 to become 6.27% by end ofDecember 2006. The increasing cost of fundswas also related to a shift in BRI’s depositscomposition toward high cost funds, which wastending in Indonesia’s banking industry at thetime. Yet low cost deposits were still the majorityin BRI’s deposits. By the end of December 2006,low cost deposits still acquired 69.23% of totaldeposits, left only 30.77% for high cost deposits,a composition far better than the banking industry.

Explored further into the type of deposits, therewas an apparent sign of how strong BRI’s fundingbase which mostly consist of low-cost-retaildepositors was. In the first semester 2006, BRI’sdemand deposits and savings grew 22.31%, farabove banking industy’s growth of only 4.87%. In the second semester 2006, when the interestrate was trending down, the growth of BRI’s lowcost deposits was consistently higher, reaching25.64% far higher than those of the industry’sgrowth of only 16.53%.

The sustainability of high quality loan growth,compounded by maintaining low cost of fundsresulted in a Net Interest Margin (NIM) of 11.17%by the end of December 2006, far above thebanking industry’s NIM of 5.80%

Another encouraging development wasin fee based income. In 2006, BRI hadsignificantly boosted its fee based income aswell, from only Rp527.89 billion by the end ofDecember 2005 to Rp837.69 billion bythe end of December 2006.This success was a promising sign for further

developments of BRI’s consumer bankingbusiness.

Better valuation of Government Bonds portfolioas a result of better macro economic conditionssuch as decreasing interest rate, benign inflationand good prospects of Indonesia’s economyperceived by international community had yieldedto unrealized, marked to market gain of Rp629.25billion, consisted of Rp609.91 billion from‘available for sale’ bonds portfolio and Rp190.34billion from trading bonds portfolio.

Many have expected that macro economiccondition in 2007 will be better than 2006. Realsector economy, which had been stagnant, isexpected to start to move, based on assumptionsthat the Government will be more serious inrealizing long awaited infrastructure projectsurgently needed by the economy to growsustainably. The projects seemed soon to berealized are infrastructure projects and

agribusiness revitalization, especially palm oilplantations, as palm oil had been declared bythe Government as an alternative source ofenergy.

Indonesia is the second biggest producer of palmoil in the world now. In the future it should be thefirst as Indonesia had far wider areas availablefor palm oil plantations. The developments ofinfrastructure projects and agribusinesses in turnwill bring trickle down effects to Micro, Small andMedium Enterprises (MSMEs). Agribusinessprojects will be in nucleus-plasma mode whichwill involve farmers and other MSMEsentrepreneurs in the surrounding areas, whichare the base of BRI’s customers.

Accelerating developments of agribusiness willsurely give very positive impacts on BRI’sperformance. BRI will continue to develop positivesynergies with other healthy State OwnedEnterprises (SOEs) to involve them in the
