On September 12, 2025, the Indonesian government began distributing Rp200 trillion to five state-owned banks as a strategic step to increase liquidity in the banking system and support economic growth.

Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa stated that the funds started flowing into the banking system on Friday. This policy aims to strengthen liquidity and encourage economic activity.

According to the minister’s statement at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Bank Mandiri, BRI, and BNI each received Rp55 trillion. BTN was allocated Rp25 trillion, while BSI received Rp10 trillion. “I confirm that the Rp200 trillion fund has entered the banking system today,” said Finance Minister Purbaya.

Minister Purbaya explained that the funds are not emergency money but government funds that had not been spent and were kept in the central bank. Moving these funds into commercial banks allows them to be accessed for credit purposes.

The minister emphasized that the goal of this policy is to create liquidity in the financial system and stimulate the real economy.
