"Suprajarto is currently vice president director of BNI and Indra Utoyo is Telkom's digital strategic director," Asmawi Syam said after the shareholders meeting in Jakarta on Wednesday.
BRI vice president director Sunarso said the bank would pay out Rp 10.48 trillion or Rp 428 per share in April. It is 40 percent of the bank's 2016 net income.
"Our capital adequacy ratio is still above 20 percent, which is enough to support bank's expansion one to two years ahead," he said. (bbn)
