TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara), stated that there has been no discussion about changing the board of directors at banks that are members of the State-Owned Banks Association (Himbara). However, Danantara will consult with them if improvements are needed.
"But essentially, so far, there has been no discussion about that," he said when met at Wisma Danantara on Saturday, January 31, 2026.
Himbara banks include PT Bank Mandiri Tbk, PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia Tbk, PT Bank Negara Indonesia Tbk, and PT Bank Tabungan Negara Tbk. Each has a financing focus tailored to its target consumer segment.
Previously, Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin stated that President Prabowo Subianto would replace the board of directors of Himbara banks deemed detrimental to the state. This decision must be made so that these banks can work more effectively to strengthen Indonesia's economic sovereignty.
Himbara banks are considered to be more advantageous to large businesses than small businesses in providing credit. "Therefore, the president will decide to replace all of the directors of Bank Himbara," said Sjafrie on Saturday, January 31, 2026, as quoted by Antara.
He believes that Bank Himbara is not generating enough profits for the state. This is suspected to be because many of the company's directors are not performing optimally and tend to benefit themselves.
The government will conduct a strict selection process for bank director candidates, considering their intellect and experience. "We will no longer hire those who have long been entrenched in state-owned enterprises," Sjafrie said.
