        "summary": "The Indonesian government is forming a new task force to accelerate access to subsidised housing for low-income households (MBR) by addressing various obstacles, particularly in the financial sector such as the Financial Information Service System (SLIK). OJK Chair Friderica Widyasari Dewi and Housing Minister Maruarar Sirait emphasised that the task force will handle a broad range of housing-related issues, including financing barriers, to ensure structured problem-solving without repeated meetings. Additionally, OJK has revised SLIK policies to display only credit records above Rp1 million and expedite repayment updates to within three days, aiming to support the 3 million housing development programme more effectively.",

This task force will\naddress various housing issues, including obstacles in the financial\nservices sector such as the Financial Information Service System (SLIK).\nOJK Commissioner Chair Friderica Widyasari Dewi, or Kiki, stated that\nthe formation of the task force represents OJK\u2019s support for the\ngovernment\u2019s priority programme in the housing sector. \u201cThis is related\nto OJK\u2019s support for the Minister\u2019s programme. So, for example, if there\nare bottlenecks in the financial services sector, we will collect the\ndata again,\u201d Kiki said after meeting with Housing and Settlement Areas\nMinister (PKP) Maruarar Sirait, or Ara, and five developer associations\nat the OJK office in Jakarta on Monday (13\/4\/2026). She explained that\nthe task force will not only focus on SLIK but will also handle various\nobstacles faced by the public in accessing housing financing. Meanwhile,\nAra emphasised that the task force\u2019s scope covers all housing-related\nissues, not just SLIK. \u201cNo, we will handle all kinds of issues related\nto housing,\u201d Ara said. The Gerindra politician added that the task force\nwill also address various problems related to the financial sector that\nhinder public access to subsidised housing. \u201cAnything related to\nfinance, we will resolve it here,\u201d she said. According to her, the\nestablishment of the task force aims to ensure that problem handling is\ndone in a structured manner without needing repeated meetings. \u201cSo that\nwe don\u2019t have to go back and forth, there is a team. This team will\norganise meetings, receive aspirations, and discuss solutions,\u201d she\nstated. The task force\u2019s working mechanism will focus on technical\ndiscussions and policy formulation before reporting to leadership for\nstrategic decisions. In addition to forming the task force, OJK has also\nrevised SLIK policies to only display credit records above Rp1 million\nand to accelerate repayment data updates to a maximum of three days\n(H+3). This policy is expected to reduce financing access barriers for\nMBR, allowing the 3 million housing development programme to proceed\nmore quickly and on target.<\/p>",
