Jakarta, 7 September 2020 --- PT Bank Negara BNI as the only state-owned bank from Indonesia operating in Japan since 1959, has a mission to support the development of economic relations between Japan and Indonesia. As one of the banks with an international network, the Tokyo branch of BNI is able to position itself not inferior to other foreign banks operating in Japan in terms of performance. This is evidenced, among others, by the achievement of profits which are getting better from year to year.

The General Manager of BNI Tokyo, Muhamad Emil Azhary said that This achievement is higher than the performance of several other foreign banks which actually experienced a decline in 2020, whereas in terms of assets, these foreign banks were larger than BNI.

"In the future, BNI Tokyo will continue to maintain and improve the performance that has been achieved, one of which is by being selective in choosing portfolio of assets and continuing to look for new business opportunities amid the pandemic conditions and the global economic slowdown," Emil said.
