Jakarta, August 30, 2025 – Indonesia Eximbank (Lembaga Pembiayaan Ekspor Indonesia / LPEI) recorded positive performance throughout the first semester of 2025, in line with the institution’s focus on carrying out its mandate to support national exports through more selective and prudent strategies, particularly in strategic sectors and among export-oriented businesses.

Acting Chairman of the Board of Directors and concurrently Executive Director of Indonesia Eximbank, Sukatmo Padmosukarso, stated that Indonesia Eximbank continues its institutional transformation with emphasis on strengthening governance, risk management, and improving the effectiveness of mandate execution.

Indonesia Eximbank’s net profit as of the end of June 2025 stood at IDR 101 billion, an increase of 13% compared to the same period last year. This growth was supported by a strong capital adequacy ratio (CAR), which remained high at 37.3%. Non-Performing Financing (NPF Net) also improved from 4.5% to 4.1%, reflecting the effectiveness of asset quality improvement strategies through management of Loan at Risk portfolios and optimization of recovery efforts.

In terms of productive asset quality, financing managed by the Business Unit remained relatively stable at IDR 30.1 trillion as of June 2025. Meanwhile, guarantee volume reached IDR 7.3 trillion, export insurance volume stood at IDR 4.6 trillion, and trade finance transactions showed a positive recovery with a total of IDR 10.7 trillion.

“The performance of Indonesia Eximbank in the first half of 2025 reflects our commitment to improving asset quality and maintaining financial soundness, while remaining focused on fulfilling our mandate through sustainable special export assignments,” said Sukatmo.

As a financial institution supporting the national export program, Indonesia Eximbank carries out special assignments from the Government through the National Interest Account (NIA), locally referred to as Penugasan Khusus Ekspor (PKE). This program is designed to support transactions or projects that are commercially challenging to undertake but are considered vital in supporting Indonesia’s export policy and foreign exchange earnings.

In the first semester of 2025, the PKE/NIA program recorded significant growth. Total PKE financing disbursed reached IDR 5.5 trillion, up around 72% (YoY) from IDR 3.19 trillion in June 2024. Proportionally, PKE financing facilities also increased from 10% to 15% of LPEI’s total financing portfolio. This aligns with the institution’s strategy to enhance diversification of support through PKE, covering financing, guarantees, and insurance for strategic sectors and non-traditional markets.

Various PKE programs have accelerated the development of strategic industries, one of which is the PKE Pharmaceutical Industry Program. This program has successfully boosted exports of vaccines, medicines such as eye drops, and medical devices including syringes produced in Indonesia to international markets.

Beyond financial performance, Indonesia Eximbank also recorded positive results in non-financial mandate execution through consulting services such as the Desa Devisa Program and the Coaching Program for New Exporters (CPNE), which represent tangible contributions to local economic development.

Throughout the first semester of 2025, Indonesia Eximbank supported 192 new Desa Devisa (Export Villages) across various commodities, bringing the total number of supported Export Villages to 2,037 since 2019. The CPNE also continued to grow, with 647 participants joining capacity-building activities organized by Indonesia Eximbank.

Indonesia Eximbank also successfully nurtured 209 new exporters with actual export values reaching IDR 4.3 billion, while helping Indonesian SMEs expand their export activities through 25 business matching sessions with transaction values of IDR 1.86 billion. These achievements demonstrate the effectiveness of capacity-building initiatives focused on sustainable and impactful export development for the Indonesian economy.

“These efforts not only expand the exporter base and rural economic development but also encourage diversification of export products to be more competitive in global markets. We believe this support serves as a solid foundation to enhance the capacity and competitiveness of Indonesian export products, from the village level to the national scale,” Sukatmo added.

Going forward, Indonesia Eximbank will focus on fulfilling its role as a financial institution bridging the export financing gap that cannot be met by other institutions. Priority will be given to the National Interest Account (PKE) scheme, while continuing to serve general assignments. The institution will also provide both short-term and long-term export financing facilities, as well as financing solutions for Indonesian companies investing in or undertaking projects abroad that cannot be financed by domestic banks.

“Indonesia Eximbank continues to maintain the momentum of national export growth, as reflected in the first semester 2025 export value of USD 135.41 billion, an increase of 7.70% from the previous year. As a specialized financial institution, Indonesia Eximbank is committed to strengthening its support for export-oriented businesses, in line with the Government’s Asta Cita mission to realize an independent, advanced, and globally competitive Indonesia,” concluded Sukatmo.
