COVID-19 has disrupted economic growth and business conditions globally including in Indonesia. One of the most obvious impacts is in the banking sector as many bank debtors have lost their livelihoods. This situation affects the quality of bank assets and profitability. An increase of non-performing loans experienced by some national banks has decreased the capability to generate optimal profit from bank operations that normally would keep the banks healthy, liquid, solvent, and in a profitable state. To strengthen the stability of Indonesian financial services and support the national economic recovery effort, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) issued several regulations on macroprudential policy relaxation and stimulus provision. The regulations ensure that banks are capable to control the bad credit of the debtors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze the impact of Financial Service Authority Regulations on the quality of banking credit in supporting the Indonesian economic recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a qualitative study using a critical thinking analysis method to prove the assumption of Keynesian economic theory, which state that in a recession expansionary fiscal policy can stimulate economic activity. The results of this study indicate that the Financial Services Authority regulations have shown an impact in supporting the Indonesian economy recovery efforts amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which can be seen through the stability of the financial system. Further empirical and quantitative studies are needed to confirm the study findings.

In Indonesia, the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects economic stability. The problem faced by Indonesia today is that the performance and capacity of debtors in carrying out their credit obligations have been disrupted by the spread of COVID-19, which has the potential to disrupt banking performance in credit management. Encouraging the optimization of the banking intermediary function a policy is needed in tackling the impact of the spread of COVID-19. The research method used is a normative legal research method using secondary data. The results of this study indicate that policy settings in overcoming economic instability due to the spread of COVID-19 are the issuance of policies to provide national economic stimulus through the application of Financial Services Authority Regulation No. 11/POJK.03/2020. This policy regulates the existence of credit restructuring, namely the quality of restructured loans can be determined smoothly if given to debtors identified as being affected by the spread of COVID-19. The implementation of the restructuring scheme can vary and is determined by the policies of each bank depending on the assessment of the debtor's profile and capacity to pay. We emphasize that amid uncertainty, such as the current policy will be truly useful if each party takes the process carefully and responsibly.

ABSTRACTThe banking industry is a dynamic sector along with economic growth, an increasing of complex financial transactions, and the impact from global trade, therefore the presence of an independent institutions is really needed. The Deposit Insurance Agency (LPS) is an institution that is independent, transparent and accountable in implementing its duties and authorities. As an independent agency, accountability is very important to be applied, so that stakeholders aware of what and how LPS implement the functions and duties as mandated by Law No. 24 of 2004 concerning the Deposit Insurance Agency (LPS). Procedurally, if the Financial Services Authority (OJK) indicate a bank that is experiencing liquidity problems, Financial Services Authority (OJK) immediately inform the Bank of Indonesia (BI) to take steps in accordance with BI's authority. In practise, Financial Service Authority (OJK) coordinate withBank of Indonesia (BI) to make regulatory supervision in banking sector. Coordination in handling between failed banks between the Deposit Insurance Agency (LPS) and Financial Services Authority (OJK) is shown by a confirmation from Financial Services Authority (OJK) to the Deposit Insurance Agency (LPS) about troubled banks that are in the restructuring efforts by Financial Services Authority (OJK), then the Deposit Insurance Agency (LPS) investigate the banks in accordance with its functions, duties and responsibilities. The Deposit Insurance Agency (LPS) as an institution that checks condition of banks surely will review and determine whether the troubled banks will be saved or not saved.

The covid 19 pandemic resulted in a very significant economic impact, and resulted in many defaults on bank credit agreements which underwent payment restructuring based on the covid 19 virus. Financial Services Authority (OJK) Regulation No. 11/POJK.03/2020 concerning the national economic stimulus as a countercyclical policy for the impact of the spread of covid 19 gives authority to banks to establish policies that support economic growth stimulus for debtors affected by the spread of covid 19, one of which is credit or financing restructuring policies. The occurrence of a national disaster caused by the Covid 19 virus had an impact on the force majeure situation. That defaults due to the spread of the covid-19 virus have resulted in debtors being negligent in carrying out their obligations, this method uses the normative juridical method, which refers to the provisions of positive laws and regulations in Indonesia. The results of the research show that defaults in the credit agreement cannot be used as an excuse for not fulfilling their obligations. The spread of covid-19 cannot be used as an excuse that causes a compelling situation that requires the debtor to commit an act of default. In the concept of a rule of law, judicial power is independent in carrying out its judicial function, thus enabling the exercise of judicial power to be fair in examining, adjudicating and deciding cases based on law and justice. Then the policy of the regulations issued by the government against the spread of the covid-19 virus is very important for the community regarding the problem of the spread of the covid-19 virus.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which is spreading rapidly throughout the world, has seriously harmed many countries, including Indonesia. Many things have been detrimental due to COVID-19, one of which is the economic aspect. This pandemic made it difficult for many debtors to fulfil their credit obligations that led the government to issue a countercyclical policy to provide a stimulus to the national economy. This study aims to determine the impact of OJK Regulation No.48 of 2020 on credit quality and control of banking credit risk in Indonesia. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a literature approach using secondary data. This OJK regulation regulates economic stimulus through credit restructuring and regulates the implementation of credit risk management in banks. The existence of this regulation can maintain the stability of banking performance by keeping the Non-Performing Loan (NPL) number below 5% and providing a reference for banks in risk management with a model that is relevant to economic conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The stability of Russian banking sector is threatened by three negative tendencies - overheating of the credit market, significant decrease of banks capital adequacy ratios, and growing problems associated with banks lending to affiliated non-financial corporations. The co-existence of these processes reflects the crisis of the model of private investments in Russian banking sector, which was observed during the last 20 years. This paper analyzes the measures of the Bank of Russia undertaken to maintain the stability of the banking sector using the methodology of credit risk stress-testing. Based on this methodology we conclude that the Bank of Russias actions can prevent the overheating of the credit market, but they can also lead to undesirable effects: further expansion of the government ownership in Russian banking sector and substitution of domestic credit supply by cross-border corporate borrowings. The later weakens the competitive positions of Russian banks. We propose a set of measures to harmonize the prudential regulation of banks. Our suggestions rely on design and further implementation of the programs aimed at developing new markets for financial services provided by Russian banks to their corporate and retail customers. The estimated effects of proposed policy measures are both the increase in profitability and capitalization of Russian banks and the decrease of banks demand for government support.

COVID-19 is aptly stated as a Black Swan event that has stifled the global economy. As coronavirus wreaked havoc, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracted globally, unemployment rate soared high, and economic recovery still seems a far-fetched dream. Most importantly, the pandemic has set up turbulence in the global financial markets and resulted in heightened risk elements (market risk, credit risk, bank runs etc.) across the globe. Such uncertainty and volatility has not been witnessed since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. The spread of COVID-19 has largely eroded investors’ confidence as the stock markets neared lifetimes lows, bad loans spiked and investment values degraded. Due to this, many turned their backs on the risk-reward trade off and carted their money towards traditionally safer investments like gold. While the banking sector remains particularly vulnerable, central banks have provided extensive loan moratoriums and interest waivers. Overall, COVID-19 resulted in a short term negative impact on the financial markets in India, though it is making a way towards V-shaped recovery. In this context, the present paper attempts to identify and evaluate the impact of the pandemic on the financial markets in India. Relying on rich literature and live illustrations, the influence of COVID-19 is studied on the stock markets, banking and financial institutions, private equities, and debt funds. The paper covers several recommendations so as to bring stability in the financial markets. The suggestions include, but are not limited to, methods to regularly monitor results, establishing a robust mechanism for risk management, strategies to reduce Non-Performing Assets, continuous assessment of stress and crisis readiness of the financial institutions etc. The paper also emphasizes on enhancing the role of technology (Artificial Intelligence and Virtual/Augmented Reality) in the financial services sector to optimize the outcomes and set the path towards recovery.

PurposeThis paper uses the recent (August 2015) FIFA arrests to provide an example of how illicit financial flows are occurring through the formal banking and financial services sector. The purpose of this paper is to explore which elements of anti-money laundering (AML) compliance need to be addressed to strengthen the banking response and reduce the impact of IFFs within the banking sector.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on the indictment document currently prepared for the FIFA arrests and the District Court case of Chuck Blazer the FIFA Whistleblower. It uses the banking examples identified in the indictment as typologies of money laundering and wire fraud. Corresponding industry reports on AML compliance are included to determine where the major weaknesses and gaps are across the financial service.FindingsThe main findings from the analysis are that banks still have weak areas within AML compliance. Even recognised red flag areas such as off shore havens, large wire transfers and front companies are still being used. The largest gaps still appear to be due diligence and beneficial ownership information.Research limitations/implicationsThe research topic is very new and emerging topic; therefore, analysis papers and other academic writing on this topic are limited.Practical implicationsThe research paper has identified a number of implications for the banking sector, addressing AML deficiencies, especially the need to consider the source of funds and the need for further enhanced due diligence systems for politically exposed and influential people and the importance of beneficial ownership information.Social implicationsThis paper has implications for the international development and the global banking sector. It will also influence approaches to AML regulation, risk assessment and audit within the broader financial services sector.Originality/valueThe originality of this paper is the link between the emerging issues associated with allegations of bribery and corruption within FIFA and the illicit financial flow implications across the banking sector.
