In my calculation, no fewer than seven Bank Indonesia Regulations have been issued in the past two years to provide breathing space for the banking industry in performing its primary role. I believe it is our role, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, to maintain monetary and banking stability.
On the one side, we strive to be sensitive towards a plethora of difficulties faced by the banking industry in its efforts to fund development. On the other side however, we also do not wish to see the privileges and dispensation that we have granted destroy our accomplishments.
