Moody's Says Indonesia Banking System Outlook Negative
Date: 2009-08-11

Moody's Investors Service says that theoutlook for the Indonesian banking 
system is negative over the next 12-18months, reflecting Moody's assumptions 
for fundamental credit conditionsover this timeframe. Over the next 12 months, 
Indonesian banks will face increasing pressures -- particularly on asset 
quality -- but will fare relatively well as thecountry's macro-economic 
conditions slow, although not to the extent seenon a global basis, says 
Beatrice Woo, a Moody's Vice President andSenior Credit Officer. Our outlook 
for the Indonesia banking system alsoassumes that prevailing external 
macro-economic conditions are notprotracted.  Woo was speaking on the release 
of Moody's latest outlook -- which sheauthored -- on the Indonesian banking 
system. The report -- which iswide-ranging in its content -- looks at positive 
and negative ratingtrends as well as key drivers, such as franchises, risk 
positioning, theregulatory environment, and financial fundamentals. Moody's 
rates a total of 10 Indonesian banks with their foreign currencydeposit ratings 
all at B1, their global local currency (GLC) depositratings ranging from Baa2 
to Baa3, and their bank financial strengthratings (BFSR) from D- to D+. In the 
current environment, the results of rapid loan growth, averaging20% annually 
over the past five years, could be a potential source ofhigher credit costs, 
and as newly underwritten loans test the upgradedrisk management systems of the 
banks, says Woo. In some cases, banks had embarked on consumer as well 
assmall-and-medium- enterprise lending, new areas for them, and thereforenot 
without risk, says Woo. Furthermore, their restructured loans arevulnerable 
to a downturn and could become a particular problem for thestate-owned banks. 
In this context, the system's non-performing loansratio inched up to 4.06% in 
April 2009 from 3.20% at end-2008. And while liquidity is less of a threat, 
pricing has increased, causingnet interest margins to contract; intense 
competition for deposits ---the level of which has abated since late-2008 --- 
has boosted the cost offunds, says Woo. On the other hand, bank managements 
have successfully navigated throughseveral difficult economic periods post-1997 
crisis, and they areexpected to respond well and with experience to the current 
environment,says Woo. Looking ahead, consolidation and divestment continue to 
pare the numberof players, but excess capacity remains. As the top 10 banks 
controlnearly two thirds of system deposits, the other 113 are unlikely 
toachieve economies of scale. As a result, tightening regulatoryrequirements 
will further drive consolidation. The new Moody's report further points out the 
government remains theindustry's largest shareholder, albeit much reduced, 
controlling 25% ofsystem assets. Overall, from a credit perspective, 
structuraldevelopments have been positive, and pricing discipline and 
marketstability should eventually return. Despite the negative industry 
outlook, creditworthiness -- that ismanageable asset quality, modest economic 
capital solvency, overallprofitability and reform -- will be broadly sustained. 
Generally,Indonesian banks are better equipped now to absorb stress, while 
theirmanagements have responded quickly to adverse circumstances. Hence, the 
BFSR for the 10 Moody's-rated Indonesian banks carry stableoutlooks. Their 
resulting fundamentals, especially capital levels, areexpected to be adequate 
enough for them to remain in their rating ranges.Their weighted average BFSR 
remains at D. For comparative purposes, theweighted average Indonesian BFSR 
during the 1997 financial crisis was Eagainst a pre-crisis D. As for their 
credit ratings, the Indonesian banks' GLC deposit ratings are on review for 
possible downgrade, in line with Moody's initiative toreview governments' 
abilities to provide support to their bankingsystems, as detailed in the May 
2009 report, Financial Crisis MoreClosely Aligns Bank Credit Risk and 
Government Ratings in Non-AaaCountries.
