Jakarta (B2B) - Bank Indonesia (BI) harus mentaati aturan sebelum menyetujui Development Bank of Singapore (DBS) Group Holding Ltd mengakuisisi PT Bank Danamon Tbk. Akuisisi tersebut secara hukum melanggar Peraturan BI Nomor 12/2012 tentang Kepemilikan Saham Bank, yang menyebutkan investor asing boleh menguasai saham bank nasional maksimal 40%, sementara DBS ingin menguasai 67,37%.
Pengamat ekonomi Universitas Indonesia (UI) Aris Yunanto mengingatkan pihak-pihak yang berusaha membantu upaya DBS mengakuisisi 67,37% saham Bank Danamon hendaknya mengingat kepentingan bangsa dan negara.
"Mereka yang berusaha memuluskan jalan bagi akuisisi Bank Danamon oleh DBS ini mesti berpikir ulang soal kepentingan negara dan bangsa, khususnya, industri keuangan nasional," kata Aris Yunanto kepada wartawan di Jakarta, Senin (13/5).
Menurutnya, investor asing saham boleh menambah kepemilikan sahamnya jika memenuhi penilaian BI selama tiga periode berturut-turut dalam kurun lima tahun.
"Jika akuisisi ini diloloskan tanpa ada pembatasan yang jelas dan tegas maka dipastikan akan mengancam industri perbankan nasional. Kekuatan modal yang luar biasa dari DBS akan dengan leluasa memasuki berbagai sektor," ujar Aris.
