PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk Distributes Rp 20.33 Trillion Interim Dividend
PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BRI) has once again demonstrated its commitment to providing sustained benefits to shareholders through the distribution of an interim dividend of Rp 135 per share, totaling Rp 20.33 trillion. The dividend distribution took place today on Wednesday.
Realizing Value for Shareholders and the Nation
BRI’s President Director, Sunarso, emphasized that this decision is a tangible manifestation of BRI’s dedication to creating added value for shareholders. “This is proof that BRI is committed to creating value and providing real benefits to shareholders, especially for the country as the majority shareholder,” he stated.
In terms of share ownership structure, the government holds 53.19 percent of BRI’s shares, equivalent to 80.61 billion shares. The remaining 46.81 percent, or 70.95 billion shares, are owned by the public. Consequently, the government will receive Rp 10.88 trillion from the total interim dividend, while public shareholders will receive Rp 9.45 trillion.
Benefiting the Public and Retail Shareholders
The distribution of dividends not only benefits the government as the majority shareholder but also the general public who are retail shareholders. As of December 2024, the number of BRI shareholders reached 653,251 individuals, making it the largest on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. With an increasing number of shareholders, more of the public will enjoy the benefits of BRI.
Sunarso added that the decision to distribute this interim dividend reflects BRI’s success in maintaining solid financial performance, supported by strong capital and adequate liquidity. “With sufficient liquidity and strong capital, BRI still has enough room to grow even better,” he said.
Positive Signal for the Indonesian Capital Market
This achievement refers to BRI’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) reaching 26.76 percent and the Loan Deposit Ratio (LDR) remaining at 89.18 percent as of September 2024. BRI’s decision also sends a positive signal to the Indonesian capital market, showing the company’s consistency in its business transformation.
