Bank Indonesia issued Circular Letter No. 14/10/DPNP to mandate enhanced prudential risk management for commercial banks lending housing and auto loans. The regulation establishes a maximum Loan-to-Value ratio of 70% for housing loans and sets minimum down payment requirements of 20% to 30% for auto loans depending on vehicle type and usage. Banks violating these limits face administrative sanctions, including written reprimands, reduced soundness ratings, and suspension of lending activities.
