Jakarta (B2B) - Perbankan memilih membatasi penyaluran kredit valuta asing (valas) untuk menjaga likuiditas. Pembatasan tersebut juga dilakukan karena permintaan kredit valas menurun seiring gejolak nilai tukar dan harga komoditas global yang belum pulih.
Direktur Utama PT Bank Mandiri Tbk, Budi Gunadi Sadikin mengatakan likuiditas valas perbankan terbilang ketat sehingga loan to deposit ratio (LDR) valas perlu dijaga di level yang aman.
“Ini untuk jaga-jaga karena sumber dana valas lebih banyak dari luar negeri,” kata Budi.
Jakarta (B2B) - Banks opts to limit the disbursement of foreign exchange (forex) credits to maintain liquidity. The limitation is also conducted since demands for forex credits plunged following fluctuating currency exchange and unrecovered global commodity prices.
President Director of PT Bank Mandiri Tbk Budi Gunadi Sadikin said that bank’s forex liquidity is considered tightening, hence forex’s loan to deposit ratio (LDR) is also needed to be kept at safer rate.
“This is for backup since forex funding sources came mostly from overseas,” Budi said.
