The Indonesian Depository Insurance Corporation (LPS) said that the major financial crisis and potential for default faced by Greece will have no effect on Indonesia’s banking industry.
LPS acting chief Fauzi Ichsan said that Indonesia’s NPL ratio is still within a safe zone of more than 2.5 percent. Moreover, Greece’s economy only accounted for some 2 percent of Europe’s, thereby the EU and ECB will be able to contain the impact of Greece’s possible collapse within their own region.
On Monday, June 30, Greece’s US$1.7 billion loan to the IMF comes due. If it fails to repay said debt, Greece would be the world’s first country to have gone bankrupt, with the largest amount of debt recorded.
