Indonesia’s banks have seen a strong year in this year’s Top 1000 World Banks, as increases in Tier 1 capital helped them to climb up the ranking. The country has emerged from the initial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in good shape, with the economy growing by 3.7% during 2021. The forecast looks even better for 2022, with the World Bank forecasting a 5.1% growth rate.

Indonesia has 25 banks in the country ranking this year, but because of the high number of foreign-owned subsidiaries in the country, only 10 make it into the main Top 1000 ranking, with five of them being in the top 500.
