Indonesia’s Sharia Banking Financing Reaches Rp720 Trillion

Financing extended by Indonesia’s sharia banks stood at Rp720 trillion in June 2026, 11.43 percent above a year earlier, Bank Indonesia said, while third-party funds held by those banks reached Rp816 trillion, up 13.13 percent. Acting Governor Destry Damayanti presented the figures on 12 August 2026 at a sharia financing forum in Jakarta.

The financing figure measures financing extended by sharia banks and isn’t the same as total Islamic finance assets. The Halal Times has previously reported that Indonesia’s total Islamic finance assets reached a record Rp3,131 trillion in 2025, a separate and non-comparable measure, according to OJK.

Sukuk and the Halal Supply Chain

Bank Indonesia also reported corporate sukuk outstanding at approximately Rp95 trillion and put halal supply chain growth at 5.5 percent. Bank Indonesia’s statement of the halal supply chain figure, as reported by ANTARA, CNBC Indonesia and Bloomberg Technoz, gave no base period or scope for it. Indonesia’s broader halal-economy agenda has featured in earlier Halal Times coverage, including coverage of a digital halal trade partnership with South Korea and of a briefing for European Union officials on Indonesia’s 2026 halal certification deadline.

The Jakarta Forum

The forum was titled “Unlocking Corporate Growth Through Sharia Finance,” according to CNBC Indonesia. “Sharia financing needs to be a strategic and competitive choice for corporate investment and expansion,” Damayanti said, in an English rendering of remarks she delivered in Indonesian, as reported by CNBC Indonesia. “For that, a bankable, measurable and sustainable financing pipeline needs to be built,” she said. Referring to the figures she presented, Damayanti said the development “opens increasingly large room for sharia financing to support productive investment and expansion of the real sector,” in an English rendering of remarks reported by ANTARA.

Titi Khoiriah, who heads the Islamic Economic Body at Kadin, Indonesia’s chamber of commerce, emphasized the need for sharia financing over longer horizons, and for schemes and tenors appropriate to it, according to ANTARA. The forum’s business matching paired 20 sharia banks and sharia business units with 51 companies, according to ANTARA and CNBC Indonesia.

OJK’s Figure for the Same Period

Separately, Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) reported that sharia banking financing grew 11.09 percent year-on-year through June 2026, according to Deputy Chairman of the OJK Board of Commissioners Hernawan Bekti Sasongko at a briefing on 4 August 2026, as reported by Liputan6. That figure differs from Bank Indonesia’s 11.43 percent for the same period. The ANTARA, CNBC Indonesia and Bloomberg Technoz reports of the Bank Indonesia forum didn’t address why the two differ.

A New Bank Indonesia Program

Bank Indonesia has launched a program named in Indonesian “Bulan Pembiayaan Syariah dan Percepatan Intermediasi Indonesia,” or Sharia Financing Month and Indonesia Intermediation Acceleration, meant to widen access to sharia financing and speed its delivery to the real sector, according to Bloomberg Technoz. Bloomberg Technoz described the program’s focus as strengthening links between the halal industry and Islamic finance. That report didn’t give a start date, budget or target for the program.
