State-owned lender Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) has appointed three new directors and one new commissioner in a reshuffle during a shareholders meeting in Jakarta on Thursday.

Osbal Saragi Rumahorbo was appointed as the network and services director, Achmad Solichin Lutfiyanto as the compliance director and Supari as the retail and medium-sized business director.

Meanwhile, Hadiyanto was appointed as a commissioner to replace Vincentius Sonny Loho, who was fired.

The newly appointed directors replaced Susi Liestiyowaty and Donsuwan Simatupang on the BRI board of directors.

“Donsuwan Simatupang was replaced not because his tenure had ended, but he was given a new mandate [by the State-Owned Enterprises Ministry] to join a directorial board elsewhere,” BRI president director Suprajarto said.

Suprajarto expressed hope that the new team would help the company reach its short-term and long-term goals, especially in the bank's focus on providing loans to micro, small and medium enterprises. (bbn)
