Indonesia Loan Growth Hits 3-Month High

2025-10-22 08:17 By Czyrill Jean Coloma 1 min. read

Indonesia’s annual loan growth rose by 7.7% year-on-year in September 2025, accelerating from 7.56% in the previous month and marking the highest level since June.

Despite the upturn, overall credit demand remained subdued, mainly due to wait-and-see approach among businesses, continued reliance on internal corporate financing, and persistently high lending rates.

This situation is reflected in the substantial volume of undisbursed loan facilities, which reached IDR 2,374.8 trillion in September 2025, equivalent to 22.54% of the total approved credit ceiling.

On the supply side, banks remain well-capitalized to support financing, as indicated by a healthy Liquid Assets to Third-Party Funds (LA/TPF) ratio of 29.29%.

Third-Party Funds (TPF) also grew robustly by 11.18% year-on-year in September.

Looking ahead, Bank Indonesia forecasts that credit growth for full-year 2025 will likely fall at the lower end of the 8–11% target range, with a stronger increase expected in 2026.

Indonesia Loan Growth Eases to 3-Month Low
Indonesia’s annual loan growth eased slightly to 9.37% year-on-year in February 2026 from 9.96% in the previous month, marking the slowest pace since November 2025. The slowdown reflects weaker purchasing power, a contracting middle class, and increased caution among banks in extending credit. However, growth was supported by an increase in investment credit, which grew 20.72% from a year earlier, alongside gains in working capital loans (3.88%) and consumer credit (6.34%). Looking ahead, Bank Indonesia forecasts overall credit growth in 2026 to remain stable in the 8–12% range, driven by both supply and demand factors.
