Bank Central Asia financial and market developments

Overview

PT Bank Central Asia (BCA) reported a 10.5% growth in total credit as of August 2026, reaching Rp1,017 trillion. During this period, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) began monitoring rumors regarding a potential acquisition of the bank by Haji Isam to ensure financial stability and proper governance.

Following significant stock price volatility, where shares hit the automatic reject lower (ARB) limit for two consecutive days, BCA announced a share buyback program scheduled for October 19 to 21, 2026. This action is part of a larger Rp 5 trillion allocation approved for the 2026-2027 period. The stock decline occurred amid market concerns regarding MSCI's consultation on reclassifying Indonesia's market status from Emerging Market to Standalone Market, which saw BCA shares fall significantly alongside heavy foreign net selling.
