Indonesia Eximbank Posts 81 Percent Profit Growth in Q1‑2026

RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Indonesia’s export financing performance showed a positive trend in early 2026, with Indonesia Eximbank, also known as the Indonesian Export Financing Agency (LPEI), reporting stronger profits and improved asset quality amid efforts to boost the competitiveness of national exporters.

Eximbank posted a net profit of IDR 77 billion (USD 4.35 million) in the first quarter of 2026, an 81 percent year‑on‑year increase from IDR 42 billion. This growth was supported by higher business activity and better asset management.

Financing rose to IDR 32.3 trillion from IDR 28.6 trillion, guarantees reached IDR 4.2 trillion, and insurance volume amounted to IDR 1.4 trillion, underscoring Eximbank’s role in financing and risk mitigation for export‑oriented businesses.

“This improvement in Eximbank’s performance aligns with the increase in National Export Financing activities and stronger fundamentals in asset management. It reflects Eximbank’s active role in supporting the Government’s Asta Cita program, while adhering to prudential norms to maintain financing quality and business sustainability,” said Executive Director Sukatmo Padmosukarso in Jakarta on Thursday, May 21, 2026, as quoted on Eximbank's official website.

The non‑performing loan (NPL) ratio fell to 1.77 percent from 2.41 percent in December 2025, while collections and special assets totaled IDR 648 billion.

In support of the Special Export Assignment (PKE) program, disbursement in Q1‑2026 reached IDR 3.6 trillion, up 39 percent year‑on‑year. The PKE Trade Finance and Regional programs contributed the largest share, while the PKE SME program had the highest number of borrowers, showing its reach among small and medium exporters.

“Through the PKE program, export‑oriented businesses can expand production capacity, ensure sustainability, strengthen competitiveness, and access international markets, particularly non‑traditional destinations,” Sukatmo said.

As of March 2026, Eximbank guided 2,379 Desa Devisa (Foreign Exchange Generating Villages), with 199 villages improving quality through institutional strengthening, export management training, production upgrades, and expanded market access, including business matching. The institution also created 120 new exporters, bringing the total to 1,774.

“These achievements reflect Eximbank’s commitment to strengthening the national export ecosystem through financing, guarantees, insurance, and consulting services to build the capacity of export‑oriented businesses,” concluded Sukatmo. ***
