JAKARTA, Indonesia, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (IDX: BBRI) continues to shine, being recognized as the leading bank in Indonesia and ranked 110th globally by The Banker. The London-based leading global financial and business media released the Top 1000 Banks 2024 list on July 10. The list ranks the world's top banks based on Tier 1 capital, assets, profit before tax, capital asset ratio, return on capital and return on assets.

The Banker's editor, Kimberley Long, highlighted that Indonesian banks are currently experiencing a period of increased Tier 1 capital, supported by strong economic growth and stable conditions. "Optimism is reflected in the positions of Indonesian banks on the Top 1000 list, as many have recovered from last year's decline in Tier 1 capital," said Long. The Banker, a Financial Times company, has been a trusted source of global financial information since 1926.

This recognition adds to BRI's recent achievements. On June 13, Forbes International named BRI the largest company in Indonesia in The Global 2000 list. On June 18, Fortune's inaugural Southeast Asia 500 list ranked BRI as the top bank in Indonesia and fourth in the financial category in Southeast Asia.
