Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa is optimistic that bank credit growth could reach near double digits by January 2026, in line with the government's move to inject Rp76 trillion into banks to accelerate credit distribution to the real sector.
According to him, the impact of the new liquidity injection will be more clearly visible starting in December 2025, before strengthening significantly early next year.
Following the press conference for the November 2025 edition of the State Budget in Jakarta on Thursday, Finance Minister Purbaya explained that the slowdown in bank credit that has occurred in recent months is not an indication of fundamental weakness, but rather a normal dynamic that is also influenced by the slowdown in money growth.
