Investors responded enthusiastically to the government’s initiation of disbursing state funds, previously held at Bank Indonesia, into these five prominent state-owned financial institutions. As noted by the Phintraco Sekuritas Research Team in a written statement received in Jakarta on Friday, September 12, 2025, this substantial fund injection served as a key catalyst, bolstering market confidence and driving the day’s rally.

From the domestic front, Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa officially disbursed the Rp 200 trillion from the State Budget Surplus (SAL) account at Bank Indonesia to the five Himbara banks on Friday afternoon. The allocation was carefully distributed: PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BRI), PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BNI), and PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk each received Rp 55 trillion. Additionally, PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk (BTN) was allocated Rp 25 trillion, while PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Tbk (BSI) received Rp 10 trillion.

Looking ahead to the coming week, market participants will be keenly observing the Bank Indonesia (BI) Board of Governors’ Meeting (RDG) scheduled for September 16-17, 2025. The prevailing consensus among analysts suggests that BI is widely expected to maintain its benchmark BI Rate at the current level of 5 percent, indicating a stable domestic monetary policy stance.

Internationally, global investors are setting their sights on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting of the US Federal Reserve, also slated for September 16-17, 2025. According to market consensus, the Federal Reserve is anticipated to implement a 25 basis point reduction in interest rates, adjusting the target range to 4.0-4.25 percent from its current 4.25-4.50 percent, a move that could have significant implications for global financial markets.

After opening in positive territory, the index comfortably remained in the green zone until the conclusion of the first trading session. This upward momentum continued unabated into the second session, with the IHSG firmly holding its gains until the market closed for the day.
