                            Technology, technology, technology. This is the recurring theme coming out of our 8 th
                            Indonesia Banking Survey. Respondents said technology is the #1 driver of business
                            transformation and the top risk to the industry. Transactions through digital channels are
                            surpassing traditional branches in Indonesia for the first time. The war for talent is strongest
                            for technology specialists.
Lucy Suhenda                Indonesia Banks are trying to keep pace with this change: only 8% of respondents said

                            changed their strategy in that time period. 9 out of 10 are undergoing some form of a cost
                            reduction program, and the most common approach to reducing operational risk is
                            automation.

                            The outlook is improved for 2018 over last year, but cautiously so. Concerns about credit
                            risk and net interest margins are subsiding, and there are improved expectations for
                            profitability.

                            There will be winners and losers in this rapidly changing environment. We see areas where
                            Indonesia banks need to take more action – clarity of strategy, a greater focus on customer
                            centricity, driving strategies through to execution, and investing further in systems and risk
                            management to move from a moderate to high level of preparedness.

                            We thank all of our respondents to our 2018 survey and trust it will be a helpful catalyst to
                            stimulating dialogue for the betterment of Indonesia banks and the industry as a whole.
