Indonesia's financial assets are relatively small, at the equivalent of an estimated 119% of GDP in 2014, but the country's banks are healthy and will look to expand in the forecast period.
The government has a large presence in the banking sector-a legacy of the bail-outs and takeovers required in the wake of the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis. It will continue its efforts to return banks to private ownership.
The criteria for securing BI approval for higher shareholdings are unclear, and political considerations appear to enter into decision-making. For example, a factor behind BI's decision not to allow Singapore's DBS Bank to acquire 67% of the locally based Bank Danamon was the lack of reciprocal ownership access for Indonesian banks in Singapore.
