This profit record is the highest ever recorded by BRI in history. The highest profit previously was recorded in the previous year which reached IDR 51.4 trillion.

Based on the financial report published (31/1), the profit of this bank, which focuses on small-scale loans, was supported by an increase in net interest income recorded at IDR 135.18 trillion. The previous year, BRI's net interest income was only IDR 124.59 trillion.
