Jakarta - Bank Kesawan recently announced the conclusion of the bank`s Rights Issue, and received rights issue fund of Rp 734 billion (US$ 73 million dollars), a press release received here on Friday stated.
"The fund increased the capital adequacy ratio (CAR) and reached 61,19 percent from previously 11.43 percent (unaudited as per year 2010 end). Under the current CAR, we will have more room to grow," said Gatot Siswoyo, President Director Bank Kesawan.
Post rights issue condition marks the beginning of Qatar National Bank (QNB) ownership in the Indonesian banking industry through Bank Kesawan. QNB is now the majority shareholder of the bank representing 69,59 percent of the shares. Other shareholders above 5 percent shares ownership are Adhi Tirta Mustika with 9,01 percent and other institutions and the public with 21,4 percent.
Gatot added that QNB presence will bring added value to the bank. QNB global experiences will enhance the bank`s performance. Transfer of knowledge in terms of banking technology, risk management and human resources quality will refer to global best practices. In the future Bank Kesawan will be stronger and in line with its vision to be a leader in its class.
As published earlier the funds raised from the rights issue will strengthen the bank`s capital base and enable Bank Kesawan to be more active in participating in the growing Indonesian economy and provides better services to its customers.
