“These fee policies are extended through the end of 2025 to help support private consumption, especially among households,” he explained.
Meanwhile, Warjiyo reported that credit growth in May 2025 stood at 8.43% year-on-year, slightly lower than April’s 8.88% growth.
From the supply side, banks still showed a strong preference for investing in securities, even as lending standards began to tighten.
“Banking liquidity remains adequate, although third-party funds (DPK) growth slowed from 5.51% yoy in January 2025 to 4.29% yoy in May 2025,” he continued.
