The Financial Services Authority (OJK) issued Regulation No. 19 of 2024 to align Indonesia's Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) framework with Basel Committee on Banking Supervision standards and the OJK's 2022-2027 strategic goals. This regulation expands LCR compliance obligations to include all conventional commercial banks, specifically bringing Group 1 banks (excluding foreign banks) under the reporting and calculation requirements for the first time. The new rules mandate daily LCR calculations starting December 1, 2024, with initial reporting and publication due for the end of December 2024, while also updating High-Quality Liquid Asset criteria and Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process requirements.
Abstract: The drafting of this OJK Regulation on Amendments to OJK Regulation No. 42/POJK.03/2015 on Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) Requirements for Commercial Banks (POJK LCR) is motivated by the desire to harmonize with Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) standards, particularly regarding liquidity risk monitoring tools and additional explanations of LCR components. In line with the OJK's 2022-2027 Destination Statement to strengthen prudential regulation aligned with international standards while considering national interests, adjustments to the existing LCR regulations are necessary.
The legal basis for this OJK Regulation is:
This regulation expands the scope of LCR monitoring, calculation, and reporting obligations to apply to all Conventional Commercial Banks (CCBs). Previously, CCBs classified as Group 1 Banks based on core capital (KBMI 1), excluding foreign banks, were not subject to LCR regulation. This expansion is implemented because maintaining the LCR ratio aims to strengthen banking liquidity, requiring data that is equivalent, reliable, and comparable across all CCBs.
