PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BNI has again recorded an achievement at the international level by being included in the Forbes Global 2000 list in 2025. BNI is one of 12 companies from Indonesia that managed to penetrate the prestigious list, emphasizing its reputation as a national financial institution that is able to compete on the global stage.
The Global 2000 list is compiled by Forbes based on four main indicators, namely sales, profits, assets and market value, with reference to each company's latest annual financial data. For this year, BNI managed to rank 1,064th globally.
This achievement was driven by BNI's solid financial performance throughout 2024, with recorded revenue of US$5.6 billion, profit reaching US$1.4 billion, and assets worth US$70.2 billion.
BNI Corporate Secretary Okki Rushartomo said that this recognition from Forbes is proof that the strategic transformation carried out by the company is on the right track.
“We will continue to strengthen performance and innovation to make the best contribution to the national and global economy,” he said in a written statement.
Okki emphasized that BNI is actively carrying out sustainable transformation not only in terms of digitalization and operations, but also in terms of sustainability. This is reflected in efforts to strengthen the green financing portfolio, empower MSMEs, and develop digital banking services.
In the first quarter of 2025, BNI recorded Net Interest Income growth of 4.7% to total IDR9.8 trillion, while consolidated net profit reached IDR5.4 trillion.
On the financing side, lending increased by 10.1% year-on-year (YoY) to IDR765.5 trillion, supported by the Corporate and Consumer segments which grew thanks to the portfolio rebalancing strategy and de-risking approach.
Moreover, BNI's focus on increasing low-cost funds also showed promising results. Savings grew by 10.2% YoY to IDR258 trillion as of March 2025. This success was also driven by the strengthening of BNI's digital platform, namely the wondr by BNI application for the retail segment and BNIdirect for the wholesale segment.
Both platforms contributed to maintaining the CASA ratio at a stable level of 70.5% of total Third Party Funds (DPK), while strengthening customer loyalty and increasing the volume of low-cost funds in a sustainable manner.
“We believe this global recognition will further motivate all BNI people to continue to make the best contribution to national and global economic growth,” Okki concluded.
This achievement further emphasizes BNI's position as a national bank with global competitiveness, as well as its commitment to continue to drive sustainable and inclusive growth.
