JAKARTA, July 18, 2026 – PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk (BTN) has once again demonstrated impressive financial performance, posting a consolidated net profit of IDR 2.40 trillion for the first half of 2026. This remarkable figure marks a substantial 40.8% surge compared to the same period in the previous year, solidifying BTN's leadership in the national housing finance sector.
This outstanding achievement is largely attributable to the robust fundamentals of Indonesia's housing sector. BTN's President Director, Nixon LP Napitupulu, stated that demand for housing, particularly for the low and middle-income segments, remains high across the nation. Continuous government programs for housing financing liquidity facilities (FLPP) and interest subsidy support have also been key catalysts for BTN's significant loan growth. “We are witnessing a very positive housing market momentum, underpinned by stable macroeconomic conditions and pro-people government policies on homeownership,” Nixon commented.
Optimizing Efficiency and Digital Transformation
Beyond the strong impetus from the resilient housing sector, the increase in profit was also supported by ongoing operational efficiencies and a massive digital transformation strategy. BTN continues to optimize its use of technology to accelerate loan application processes, enhance customer service quality, and expand its market reach through digital channels. This has resulted in a reduction in the operational expense-to-operating income (BOPO) ratio and an overall increase in employee productivity.
Banking economic observer from the University of Indonesia, Dr. Rina Fitriani, noted, “BTN’s performance in H1 2026 reflects the bank’s successful strategy in securing a very promising housing market share. Its focus on subsidized and non-subsidized mortgage loans tailored to market needs, coupled with relevant digital innovations, has enabled BTN not only to maintain but also to enhance its profit margins amidst intense competition in the banking industry.”
Sustained Commitment and Bright Prospects
BTN's Finance Director, Nofry R. Oktanando, added that BTN remains committed to providing decent housing for the Indonesian populace. “We will continue to innovate in housing finance products and services, and strengthen our digital ecosystem to ensure sustainable growth and deliver optimal value for our shareholders and all stakeholders,” he elaborated. BTN aims to remain a key partner for the government in achieving the ‘One Million Houses’ target and supporting national housing infrastructure development.
Indonesia's stable economic conditions, characterized by controlled inflation and consistent GDP growth, have also created a conducive business environment for BTN. The bank is also actively promoting sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) programs as part of its commitment to sustainable development and corporate social responsibility.
