Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) for shop houses (Ruko) or office houses (Rukan) show the highest rate compared to other non-business sector loans. Data from the Indonesian Financial Services Authority's (OJK) Indonesian Banking Statistics, as of March 2017, shows an increase to 4.32 percent from 3.42 percent in March 2016. A sluggish domestic economy, coupled with decreased demand for shop house rentals, has led to a decline in people's ability to pay installments and interest on shop house ownership.
NPLs for residential properties in March 2017 also increased to 2.78 percent from 2.59 percent in March 2016. Similarly, NPLs for apartment or flat ownership also rose to 2.36 percent from 1.58 percent in March 2016.
Meanwhile, NPLs for motor vehicle ownership, household appliances (including multi-purpose loans), and other non-business sector loans actually decreased. Decreased consumer purchasing power has led consumers to postpone their plans to purchase new vehicles and household appliances.
