KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. PT BRI Multifinance Indonesia (BRI Finance) recorded a surge in financing disbursement in the first quarter of 2026, as market demand began to stabilize.

BRI Finance President Director Wahyudi Darmawan stated that, as of March 2026, the company had posted year-on-year (YoY) growth in financing disbursement of 131.53%. However, he did not specify the amount.

He believes this performance is inseparable from the improving demand for financing, although the recovery trend still requires further observation.

"This growth is an early indication of improvement driven by stabilizing demand. However, its sustainability still needs to be monitored considering people's purchasing power and the evolving economic dynamics," he told Kontan on Thursday (April 9, 2026).

Wahyudi explained that this achievement was supported by maintained demand in certain segments, as well as the company's strategy of strengthening collaboration with partners and optimizing distribution channels.

Going forward, BRI Finance is targeting significant growth in financing disbursement throughout 2026. This effort will be pursued through increased productivity, portfolio quality enhancements, and accelerated business processes.

The company also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance between business expansion and risk management amidst economic uncertainty.
