Realization of new credit channeling (gross) for maritime and fisheries sector by the partner banks until end of September 2015 has reached Rp 4.41 trillion, or 82.09 percent of the banks’ aggregate target of Rp 5.37 trillion. Some of the banks that have surpassed credit channeling target (gross) are BRI, BTPN and BPD Sulselbar. Financing for maritime and fisheries sector from finance companies consortium reached Rp 252 billion as of October 2015.

From early in this year until November , Jamkrindo as loan collateral provider for micro credit loan program (KUR) and micro, small and medium enterprises (UMKM) in maritime and fisheries sector has realized credit insurance with a total plafond of Rp 81.96 billion nationally.

Based on OJK’s data, total credit in maritime and fisheries sector as of September 30, 2015 reached 20.19 trillion or grew 12.40 percent (year-to-date since January 1, 2015), or a hike of 22.94 percent compared to the figure on September 30, 2014 (year-on-year). This growth was higher than financing for maritime sector in 2015, which was at 9.48 percent (ytd). Credit growth in maritime and fisheries sector has surpassed the whole industry’s growth, which was at 11.09 percent as of September 30, 2015.

Apart from that, non-performing loan (NPL) ratio in maritime and fisheries sector decreased significantly within the last four years to 2.13 percent as of September 30, 2015, which is also lower than NPL of the whole industry of 2.76 percent. This decrease indicated that performance in the sector is getting better in effort to respond to the challenging less positive assumption saying that maritime and fisheries sector has very high risks.

In a bid to accelerate financial access for business players in maritime and fisheries sector, 5 partner banks involved at the event at Sendangbiru Beach to do their first launch of JARING card, a product specially designed for society in maritime and fisheries sector. The card is intended to help developing savings culture and to record transactions between business players in the sector. In the future, information on customers as well as volume and nominal value of financial transactions between business players at fish auctions (TPI) throughout Indonesia will be recorded electronically in JARING card.

The whole information will make financial services institutions easier to recognize customer’s profile and business potentials of debtor candidates based on cash flow monitoring. Eventually, JARING card will become an effective tool that helps and accelerates business decision making, such as in giving credit approval for debtor candidates, and in stipulating risk management policy in financial services institutions because transactions will be based on data and information technology that is real time, comprehensive and accurate.

The launching of JARING card by BRI, BNI, Bank Mandiri, Bank Sinarmas and Bank Jatim was a real evidence that partner banks are committed and serious in developing and providing innovative products that can fulfill society’s economic needs in maritime and fisheries sector.

Meanwhile, in the focus group discussion held earlier in on November 3, 2015 themed Increase of Financing Access for Maritime and Fisheries Sector, PT PLN has announced its commitment to provide electricity at all fish auctions to support development of supporting industry in fisheries sector, among others by providing cold storage and ice factory that fishermen really need.

Other commercial banks that followed later as partner banks and attended at the event in Sendangbiru Beach included BCA, Bank Maybank Indonesia, CIMB Niaga, Bank Sinarmas and Bank Jatim, with a total of credit channeling from the five banks in 2015 reached at least Rp 363 billion. Involvement of the five new partner banks has proven that maritime and fisheries sector has a good prospect, and it has reinforced optimism that JARING program implementation through FGD and launch of JARING book, has boosted acceleration in increase of banking credit for maritime and fisheries sector, in line with expand of access to financial products and services.

The whole activities and events of JARING program are intended to give the best benefits. Today, it was actualized in the form of credit agreement referral from 10 partner banks and giving aid to society.

We can also inform that especially for KUR and UMKM credits in East Java areas, Jamkrindo has given credit insurance of Rp 5.64 billion in 2015, while PT Jamkrida Jawa Timur channeled credit insurance of Rp 175 million in the same year.
