By implementing prudent loan selection strategies, the bank’s Enterprise Banking (EB) portfolio reached Rp61 trillion, an increase of 10% year-on-year. This growth was supported by its collaboration with MUFG’s network and emphasis on blue-chip customers and State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs). During that same period and parallel to the improvement of the auto financing sector, the Bank’s subsidiary Adira Finance experienced an increase of 33% in new financing compared to the first quarter last year.

Also in Q1 2022, the bank’s continuing focus on granular funding growth paved the way towards a 12% increase in Current Account and Savings Account (CASA) with CASA ratio reaching 60.5% compared to 54.7% recorded in the same period last year. 

Danamon’s asset quality also showed continuous improvement. NPL coverage ratio was at 209% in first quarter 2022 from 177% in first quarter 2021. Also in Q1 2022, Gross NPL ratio improved 50 bps to 2.8% while Loan at Risk (LAR) percentage, which includes COVID restructured loans under forbearance at 15.4%, improved by 60bps compared to same period last year.

By the end of first quarter 2022, the bank’s Net Profit After Tax was recorded at Rp860 billion, a 65% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. 

Synergy with Adira Finance and MUFG to Support Indonesia’s Automotive Industry Revival

Collaboration and synergy between Danamon, Adira Finance and MUFG, provided the impetus for the group’s participation in the recently concluded Indonesia International Motor Show Hybrid 2022 (IIMS) at the JIExpo from 31 March to 10 April 2022. Danamon’s product offering at the IIMS Hybrid 2022 emphasized on KPM Prima (car and motorcycle financing), supported by Adira Finance, to help customers easily realize their dreams of owning or upgrading their motor vehicle. Moreover, Danamon also provided total financial solutions that assist both existing and potential customers in realizing their financial and wealth creation requirements, such as KPR Prima (mortgage), Credit Cards, Savings, Bancassurance, as well as D-Bank PRO as a mobile banking application and integrated digital solution.

For automotive financing, an estimated value of approximately Rp300 billion or about 2,000 in applications were received – this number is expected to continue to increase as evaluation processes continue. Furthermore, cooperation with various property developers resulted in home ownership loan requests with a total property value of approximately Rp100 billion. The Bank was also able to acquire more than 3,000 new applications for savings accounts and credit card.

In the closing ceremony held on Saturday, 9 April 2022 at the Infinite JIExpo stage, Danamon together with Adira Finance and supported by MUFG also won the Best Sponsor Booth award from Dyandra Promosindo as the organizer of IIMS Hybrid 2022. Danamon, Adira Finance and MUFG also won the MURI record for the category 'Automotive Exhibition with the Most Grand Prizes'.

Together, Danamon, Adira Finance and MUFG also remain committed to the event’s emphasis on green transition, and support sustainable business development including access to environmentally-friendly technology. While Indonesia has set its sights on achieving net-zero emissions by 2060, Danamon expects growing interest from companies to invest in Indonesia's renewable energy and stands ready to provide the necessary support to make this a reality.

Danamon has extended its commitment, beyond IIMS Hybrid 2022, to serve both existing and potential customers in the Consumer and Wholesale Banking segments to support a sustainable automotive industry in Indonesia.
