Results review:
Bank Negara Indonesia (BBNI IJ, BUY, TP: IDR6,800)
Beating All Expectations
We expect BNI to continue focusing to provide loans for government infrastructure projects despite the lower loan yield. To reduce further NIM decline, funding structure would become an important matter. As such, BNI would push its CASA deposits by tapping more institutions and their employees. Wholesale fundingalso forms part of its main strategy this year amid a volatile global environment. This is done through NCDs, IDR bond issuance and obtaining bilateral USD borrowings. Maintain BUY with an unchanged GGM-based TP of IDR6,800 (24% upside).

¨    A manageable funding structure, from both retail and wholesale instruments. For retail, Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) would push its CASA deposits by tapping more institutions and their employees for CASA products. On wholesale funding, BNI would issue negotiable certificates of deposits (NCDs), IDR bonds, medium term notes (MTN) and secured bilateral USD borrowings. All in, we expect a relatively stable contribution from customer deposits, at 89.3% of the funding mix by end-2017 (end-2016: 89.6%).
¨    Better proper credit risk management. Post FY16's lower credit cost of 219bps (our forecast: 242bps) – which resulted in higher net profit – management continues to implement more stringent credit risk management. For instance, the credit risk review function now conducts a periodic review, starting from the loan center level up to the head office, in order to identify potential NPL borrowers. All in, we expect such ongoing progress to support our FY17F gross NPLratio of 2.5% by year-end.
¨    Maintain BUY. We maintain our BUY recommendation on BNI, which remains as one of our Top Picks, supported by its strong loan growth from infrastructure projects, a more manageable funding mix and better asset quality. Our GGM-based TP of IDR6,800 implies1.35x 2017F P/BV (-0.15SD of its historical mean).
