Indonesia heavy-equipment financing grows just 0.12% in year to August
Indonesia’s multifinance companies recorded Rp48.50 trillion in heavy-equipment financing in August 2026, just 0.12% more than a year earlier.
The figures come from the Financial Services Authority, known as OJK, which oversees the country’s financing industry.
The slow rise reflects weakness in financing for productive sectors, which fell 1.81% year on year to Rp241.88 trillion.
Heavy equipment is used across industries, and the OJK says global economic uncertainty remains a challenge.
Renewable-energy projects could create new demand, including a planned 100-gigawatt solar power program and waste-to-energy projects.
The OJK expects heavy-equipment financing to keep growing, while also urging lenders to manage risks carefully.
