Where is Bank BTN Headed?

During the June 30 meeting of Indonesia’s DPR Commission VI, directions for the development of state-owned enterprises, including Bank BTN, were discussed. DPR member Nusron Wahid suggested that the bank should not focus solely on mortgage loans. He pointed out that banks now earn more from fees than from loans. However, this stance contrasts with the mission of the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises, Erick Thohir, who aims to use Bank BTN to provide affordable housing, especially for civil servants and low-income groups. The debate over Bank BTN’s strategic development continues, with a need to consider the growing housing demand in Indonesia.
