1997 Indonesian Crisis: Backgroud Despite having stronger macroeconomic fundamentals than Thailand, Indonesia suffered a contagion effect from the Thai Bath's devaluation in July 97. At the time the crisis hit, there were deficiencies in banking supervision and regulation, together with significant vulnerabilities of banks to market risk. While the first wave of effects were observed in August 1997, the true meltdown happened in early 1998 following system wide bank runs and a free fall of the Rupiah. The government declared a temporary blanket guarantee and a bank restructuring package that ultimately led to the closure of more than 60 banks and gross outlays of over 50 percent of GDP. Through May 2002, Bank Indonesia had closed 70 banks and nationalized 13, or almost 30% of a total of 237 banks. Official nonperforming loans for the banking system were estimated at 32.5% of total loans at the peak of the crisis. 8 8

Resolution: Issue and Challenge 1. Politics! Dealing with a problem bank often involved politically powerful (conflicting) factions. 2. Should have enough time to do Financial Due Diligent (FDD) and Legal Due Diligent (LDD) before FKSSK made decision on rescuing failed bank. 3. Too few options of resolution, currently only rescuing (bail out) or liquidation. Other methods to be considered/developed: purchaseassumption, bridge bank, bail in (contingent capital) and merger acquisition. 4. The problem of systemic identification. There is a guideline (size, substitutability and interconnection) but it is very judgemental, should have clear CMP for Domestic Systemically Important Banks (DSIB). 5. Minimizing cost of resolution by early identification intervention. It might cause though cooperation: the problem of silos and coordination. 6. Managing rescued bank: the need to obtain full recovery of capital injection versus owning too long for growth (IDIC is not designed to run a business). 7. In addition the existence of resolution time limit also renders IDIC vulnerable to cornering by market. 22 22

Agenda Macro Economic and Indonesia Banking Update Lesson Learned: Financial Reform 1997 & 2008 The Role of IDIC Banking Resolution: Issue and Challenge Conclusion 24 24
Conclusion 1. Indonesia banking sector still robust compare with peer 2. The key challenge for Indonesia banking system is process of liquidity adjustment (liquidity cycle) and credit risk management. 3. Open bank assistance (bail out) should be the last alternative considered in resolving failed banks. If used, it should be complemented by tight conditionality based on sound management and involvement of existing owner(s). 4. A bank closure should be executed rapidly but with a well- devised strategy. The focus should be on timing and actions to quickly restore public confidence. Communication is vital in declaring that closed banks were unsound and the rest of the industry is sound. 5. Government needs to establish a bailout programme for DSIB and integrated CMP among all financial authorities. 25 25
Conclusion 6. Bank restructurings should be transparent, uniform and implemented consistently and selectively and encourage private sector participation. 7. Effective cooperation between all financial safety net participants is necessary for effective crisis prevention and resolution. 8. Institutional capacity to detect the crisis early and to devise proper resolution strategies is essential. The institutional capacity should be in the form of hardware, software, procedures and legal mandates (a comprehensive crisis management protocol) 9. Stronger internal capabilities for both bank and asset restructuring. 26 26
