Fitch Ratings-Singapore-25 August 2009: Fitch Ratings today noted that profitability at several of its rated large to mid-sized Indonesian banks have remained generally strong in 2008 and H109, and their pre-provision profits should be able to absorb the increase in credit costs as loan quality deteriorates in 2009 and possibly into 2010. The agency also expects the extent of deterioration in NPLs to be moderate with the Indonesian economy expected to post positive albeit weaker GDP growth (3.0% in 2009 and 3.8% in 2010). This underpins the Stable Outlook on the ratings for most Indonesian banks rated by Fitch.

Nevertheless, the management of loan quality will remain a major challenge for banks in Indonesia due to the more volatile operating conditions, poor corporate debt history and the evolving state of the banks' risk management.
