Later on December 11, 2008, PT Bank Syariah Bukopin was officially opened by M.

Transparency. “BSB have implemented good corporate governance (GCG). Completeness such as committee that was suitable with GCG’s clause, have already implement their functions. BSB also made report about their fi nancial condition to fulfill transparency principle”. In 2009, we can say that the global finance system and countries in region did not perform well. Luckily, Indonesian economy grew 4.3% But, business practitioners in financial sector were challenged in critical condition of liquidity. In fact, at that time, the position of banking condition was over liquid with average loan to deposit ratio (LDR) is 70%. On the other hand, banking industry tried to hold customers’ funds with providing higher interest rates. The result was the increasing interest rates, and tight liquidity. Liquidity rate became very rare that made conventional banking were affected by the condition. However that particular condition is much better compared to 1998 economic crisis. Defendable Sharia Banking One interesting topic was in 2009 the number of sharia banking practitioners has increased by a new entry of Islamic Commercial Bank which was Bank Panin Syariah. Besides that, there are some Islamic Business Unit which were OCBC NISP and Bank Sinar Mas Syariah.

But only the non performing financing (NPF) rate was a bit high, as 5.5% per October 2009, that needs attention. A tough economic condition does not signifi - cantly aff ect the sharia banking. Crisis eff ect affected less to sharia banks rather than to conventional banks as the result of majority of sharia banking funds are formedin mudharabah. This is a combination of a balanced return and cost that can reduce the psychology eff ect of increasing interest rate. We have to admit, when entering year 2009 (post-conversion), the condition of BSB people’s fund value is relatively tight. But because of the customers’ trust, BSB did not face any problem.In the beginning of 2009, BSB has just startedoperating with the sharia pattern and startedconverting customer and the system into sharia.BSB also collaborated with the media corporationsand carry out events for promotions.
