“On the back of a relatively stable domestic economy, we were able to generate strong growth in all of our business segments in the first semester of the year. This clearly underscores Indonesia’s economic resilience in the first half of the year, despite intensifying pressure from the global economy,” said Henry Ho, Danamon’s President Director. At the end of June 2012, Danamon’s loans reached Rp 110 trillion, or 19% higher compared to Rp 93 trillion a year ago.

Meanwhile, loans from the corporate banking segment booked a 13% growth to Rp 13 trillion, and Danamon’s trade finance increased by 55% to Rp 6.5 trillion.

In the automotive financing segment, Danamon’s auto loans through Adira Finance grew 26% to Rp 44 trillion or 40% of the Danamon’s total loans. The growth was maintained through Adira Finance’s strong relationship with dealers and customers as well as its implementation of prudent risk management.
“Meanwhile, on the funding side, Danamon’s total funding grew 14% to reach Rp 111 trilllion,” stated Vera.
Current Accounts grew 35% while Savings Accounts grew by 13% year-on-year, reaching Rp 14 trillion and Rp 24 trillion, respectively.

Besides maintaining strong loan growth, Danamon’s fee income also registered a promising year-on-year growth of 23% to Rp 2.2 trillion, as of the end of June 2012, on the back of higher credit related fees and fees from bancassurance products. “Our credit related fees grew 21% higher to Rp 1.6 trillion, in line with our loan growth.
