REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- National banks assessed that regulator must categorize Systemically Important Bank (SIB). This bank must be monitored in order not to harm national economy. SIB is bank that has large assets and interconnected subsidiaries.

"There may be some additional rules must be given to big banks in Indonesia," President Director of PT Bank Mandiri, Budi Gunadi Sadikin said recently.

He believed that Bank Mandiri is one of banks with systemic impact in Indonesia. For that, he hopes Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia (BI) to issue category of Domestic Systemically Important Bank (D-SIB). These kinds of banks have major risk to destabilize national economy in financial crisis.

Sadikin admitted that D-SIB rules would be heavier for company, but it was important for banking industry in Indonesia. Bank Mandiri itself will prepare risk management system.

PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) Finance Director, Achmad Baiquni also thought that D-SIB category was required.

"If there is a standard criterion, we easily measure it," Baiquni said recently.

Acting President Director of PT Bank Internasional Indonesia (BII), Nadason Thila added that SIB was not new rule as it was already running in other countries. Indonesia needs to immediately categorize SIB rules as economic foundation for maintaining banking stability.

OJK Commissioner on Banking Supervision, Nelson Tampubolon said that OJK was reviewing banks on D-SIB category. He hopes the rule can publish this year.
