BANK INDONESIA REGULATION

CONCERNING
SPECIAL TREATMENT ON BANK CREDIT
FOR CERTAIN AREAS IN INDONESIA
HIT BY NATURAL DISASTER
GENERAL REVIEW
As we know, in recent years some areas of Indonesia were hit by natural disaster, such as earthquake and tsunami in the Province of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, Nias Regency and South Nias Regency, earthquake in the Province of Yogyakarta and its surrounding areas in the Province of Central Jawa, and earthquake and tsunami in the environs of the south coast of Jawa island. The impact of this natural disaster may disturb the economy of Indonesia, especially in the areas hit by the disaster. Debtor customers suffering from the impact of the disaster are estimated to face difficulties in the settlement of their liabilities as agreed. In this relation, Bank Indonesia deems necessary to extend special treatment on bank credit in the form of relaxation in the establishment of credit quality and the extension of new credit to debtors suffering from the impact of the natural disaster.
