Bank Mandiri reaffirmed its role as a strategic partner of the government in improving public welfare and maintaining national economic stability. This commitment is shown through the bank’s active support for the Bantuan Langsung Tunai Sementara Kesejahteraan Rakyat (BLTS Kesra) program, which aims to strengthen people’s purchasing power and maintain household consumption across Indonesia.

The state-owned bank, known for its golden ribbon logo, has again been trusted by the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia to distribute Rp3.22 trillion in BLTS Kesra funds to about 3.58 million recipient accounts throughout the country. This assignment follows the direction of President Prabowo Subianto’s Asta Cita policy, which places public welfare as a main priority of national development.

Part of the Government’s Economic Strengthening Program

The BLTS Kesra program is one of two economic policy packages launched by the government in mid-October 2025, together with the Graduate Apprenticeship Program. Both programs are designed to strengthen the national economy by increasing purchasing power, creating new job opportunities, and empowering local communities.

According to Sri Dono Indarto, Senior Vice President, Government Project 1 Bank Mandiri, the bank is ready to distribute BLTS Kesra funds starting November 4, 2025, through all of its branch offices, Mandiri ATMs, and Mandiri Agents across the country.

“As a strategic partner of the government, we ensure that all our infrastructure and distribution networks operate optimally so that the assistance can be received by the public quickly, safely, and accurately. Through this cooperation, we believe that BLTS Kesra plays an important role in maintaining people’s purchasing power and supporting household economic activities,” said Sri Dono in an official statement on Monday (3/11).

Aligned with the Vision of Asta Cita

The implementation of BLTS Kesra supports the vision of President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka to strengthen an economic foundation that is fair, inclusive, and sustainable.

Through its active role in social and economic programs, Bank Mandiri continues to be a key government partner in developing a resilient and productive society.

“The synergy between the government and the banking sector is the key to accelerating the realization of the Asta Cita vision, especially in strengthening the people’s economy and reducing social inequality. We believe that every rupiah distributed to the community is not only assistance but also a social investment for the nation’s future,” Sri Dono added.
