Jakarta (VNA) - Chief Executive of Banking Supervision of Indonesia's Financial Services Authority (OJK) Dian Ediana Rae on August 12 said the quality credit for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) will be maintained in the future.
This is shown through the credit risk ratio or loans at risk (LAR) for MSMEs continuing the downward trend, specifically 13.5% in June as compared with the 13.83% in the previous month, and the 16.84% recorded in the same period last year.
Dian held that MSME credit quality will be maintained and even improved with the support from many different parties.
