He believes that the issue with credit lies in low demand, rather than banking liquidity.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs of January 2026, the banking sector's undisbursed loans still amount to Rp2,506.47 trillion or 22.65 percent of the available credit ceiling. In other words, he said, the number of idle credits remains high.Meanwhile, the growth of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) loans in the same period is depressed by 0.5 percent. Home Ownership loans (KPR) and Apartment Ownership Loans (KPA) also grew below the general credit growth of around 5.5 percent.\"There is concern that the additional injection of SAL funds will worsen the number of idle credits in Himbara banks. Meanwhile, if forced to enter programs such as credit for the Red and White Village Cooperative (KDMP) or free nutritious meal (MBG) program, it could lead to a decline in credit quality,\" he said.Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa previously stated that an additional Rp100 trillion of SAL funds have been channelled into the banking sector. This fund allocation was made a week before Eid to ensure liquidity remains intact amidst potential increases in fund needs. With this addition, the total surplus budget balance placed in the banking sector has reached around Rp300 trillion.Read: Celios Forecasts 5.05% Growth Fueled by Ramadan-Eid SpendingClick here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google News","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.39.0","shortVersion":"4.39.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2622811064","isCrawlerRequest":true}
