/in /by

This study aims to analyze the effect of Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) and Earning Asset Quality (EAQ) on Non-Performing Loan (NPL) before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The data used in this study are the quarterly reports of rural banks in Central Java from 174 banks. Data analysis was carried out by comparing multiple linear regressions before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results show that the Covid-19 pandemic can strengthen the negative relationship between LDR and NPL, as well as strengthen the positive relationship between EAQ and NPL. LDR before the Covid1-19 pandemic had an insignificant negative effect, but during the pandemic it had a negative and significant effect. Whereas EAQ had a positive effect on NPL both before and during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This study aims to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the performance of conventional rural banks in Central Java. The data used in this study is panel data from 175 companies for 4 years (2018 to 2021). The data is in the form of rural bank financial reports obtained by downloading from the Financial Services Authority (FSA) website. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and inferentially. Inferential analysis was used to test the proposed hypothesis, namely the paired sample t-test. The results of this study indicate that Covid-19 has a significant negative impact on rural bank performance, namely reducing Return On Assets (ROA) and Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) and increasing Non Performing Loans (NPL).
