Inefficient banking systems will affect the Indonesian economy resulting in a high lending rate structure which impacts the cost of capital in real sectors. This study aims to determine if the high lending rates in Indonesia are caused by the high inflation rate and bank inefficiencies. Using monthly panel data analysis from four categories of commercial banking in Indonesia for the period January 2009-December 2017, the results of the study show that operating expenses operating income (OEOI) and net interest margin (NIM) factors, as a measure of efficiency, have a positive impact on loan interest rates for working capital loans, investment loans and consumer loans. Furthermore, inflation rate has a positive effect on loan interest rates for working capital and investment loans only. However, this contrasts with consumer credit where the inflation rate has a negative effect on consumer credit rates. This might be attributed to the fact that interest rates for consumer credit consider default risk factors and high demand rather than inflation factors.

Despite the phase of low interest rates, working capital management remains a key value driver in companies and an important management tool. Our results for 115 companies listed on the most important German stock indexes for the years 2011 to 2017 show that effective working capital management can have a positive impact on profitability and enterprise value. At the same time, our results also show that less attention has recently been paid to working capital management and that digital innovations are probably not yet being used to the extent that seems possible to increase efficiency. Even against the background of continuously low capital market interest rates, this must be viewed critically.

There is a legal vacuum regarding determining loan interest rates in Article 17 paragraph (1) POJK No. 77/01/2016 concerning Information Technology-Based Lending and Borrowing Services (ITBLBS). With this legal vacuum, O.J.K. has given the authority to AFPI to self-regulate the determination of loan interest rates at ITBLBS. With authority as an S.R.O. ( Self Regulating Organization ) institution owned by the Indonesian Joint Funding Fintech Association (IJFFA). The method used is normative legal research by analyzing primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials related to the research title. The interest rate in the code of conduct that IFFFA determines as the principle of operation in ITBLBS directly affects the inflation rate. However, Bank Indonesia, as the institution authorized and responsible for targeting inflation in terms of controlling interest rates circulating in the fintech market, is not given any authority based on Article 17 POJK N0. 77 of 2016. This is in contrast to the inflation targeting objective, which is the authority of B.I. It can be concluded that the determination of interest rates in the existing ITBLBS is normatively out of sync between the objectives of the legislation and the objectives of the IJFFA code of conduct.

In this paper, I discussed two problems faced by commercial banks in China in the early to mid 90's when inflation rate was high. The first problem is the use of interest rates indexed to inflation to stop disintermediation of bank deposits during the high inflation period. I observed that commercial banks cannot easily recover the additional cost of funds due to inflation from their borrower. Nor can the banks hedge the inflation risk in a public market. Banks accepting inflation-indexed deposits will then be exposing themselves to high bankruptcy risk. A proposal of offering deposit products that are denominated in RMB but indexed to gold or US$ prices is recommended as replacements for inflation-indexed deposits because for both deposit products, banks can hedge the fluctuations in interest rates through international public markets. The second problem is how banks can serve as effective monitors of economic performances of the State-Owned-Enterprises (SOEs) by allocating more credit to more efficient SOEs and by refusing credit to very weak ones. I review the problems currently faced by managers in the SOEs and in the commercial banks. I then recommend managers in commercial banks to be trained as effective loan managers capable of helping SOE managers build good businesses. Further, they have to conduct their own businesses in a very professional manner.

Cash management is  one of treasury’s main functions in which has a potential financial risk. A potential financial risk emerges when State Treasurer manages cash surplus and or/ shortages in order to maintain optimum liquidity. By applying Vector Autoregression (VAR) system on empirical data provided by Bank Indonesia and the Ministry of Finance of Indonesia, we found that currency value  flunctuation is a significant factor for repayment value of foreign loan. Interest rates and amount of government’s bond held by foreign investors are also variables impacted on government’s bond price movement in secondary market. Currency value  flunctuation and price of government’s bond in secondary market are the key factors that have to be considered by State Treasurer (BUN) in managing state’s money. Hedging strategy by using derivatif product is possible to be utilized by State Treasurer (BUN) due to it’s flexibility for short-term operation.   Abstrak Pengelolaan kas negara merupakan salah satu fungsi pokok perbendaharaan yang dalam proses pelaksanaannya menyimpan potensi berbagai risiko keuangan. Risiko keuangan, khususnya dalam investasi berpotensi muncul ketika Bendahara Umum Negara (BUN) melakukan kegiatan pengelolaan kelebihan dan/ kekurangan kas dalam rangka menjamin ketersediaan dan optimalisasi kas. Dengan menggunakan analisis Vector Autoregression (VAR) atas data empiris yang diperoleh dari Bank Indonesia dan Kementerian Keuangan Indonesia, penulis menemukan bahwa fluktuasi nilai tukar mata uang merupakan faktor yang signifikan terhadap besaran pembayaran utang luar negeri pemerintah. Tingkat suku bunga acuan dan pergerakan besaran kepemilikan SUN oleh investor asing juga merupakan variabel yang berpengaruh terhadap pergerakan harga SUN di pasar sekunder. Fluktuasi nilai tukar mata uang dan pergerakan harga SUN di pasar sekunder menjadi faktor penting dalam pelaksanaan investasi yang dilakukan BUN dalam rangka pengelolaan kelebihan dan/ kekurangan kas. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, strategi pengelolaan risiko atau hedging dengan menggunakan produk-produk derivatif dalam pengelolaan kelebihan dan/ kekurangan kas jangka pendek – menengah sangat dimungkinkan karena sifat instrumen derivatif yang fleksibel.

The last global crisis had it influence on Albanian economy as well. As the economy is still struggling to recover from the slowdown, a special attention is dedicated to lending which will in turn help investments pick up. Banks in Albania are currently flooding in excess deposits, but meanwhile the lending has hit its lowest score. What is refraining banks from lending? Is it really them to blame or maybe the demand is also part of the problem?
