        "content": "<p>The Financial Services Authority (OJK) is preparing three focuses for\ndeveloping sharia financial literacy and inclusion to make them more\ntargeted, optimal, sustainable, and impactful for the public economy.\nThe effort was marked by the first 2026 meeting of the Sharia Financial\nLiteracy and Inclusion Working Group (Pokja LIKS), which concentrated on\nthree main agendas. \u201cFirst, formulating a sharia financial literacy and\ninclusion strategy based on data, digitalisation, and community needs.\nSecond, integrating sharia financial literacy and inclusion with market\nconduct, consumer protection, and financial health. Third, strengthening\nsynergy among parties to produce concrete and actionable steps,\u201d said\nDicky Kartikoyono, Chief Executive of Behavioural Supervision of\nFinancial Service Business Actors, Education and Consumer Protection at\nOJK, in an official statement in Jakarta on Tuesday. Dicky explained\nthat Pokja LIKS holds a special position as a strategic partner of OJK,\nserving as a coordination forum and a space to unify ideas, drive\naction, and deliver tangible impacts in improving sharia financial\nliteracy and inclusion. He expressed hope that the programme would not\nonly increase knowledge but also boost public participation in using\nsharia financial products. \u201cSharia financial literacy and inclusion must\ngo hand in hand with market conduct supervision and consumer protection.\nInnovation can develop healthily, be trusted, and be sustainable while\nstill paying attention to consumer protection aspects,\u201d Dicky said. The\nforum was also attended by the Chairman of the Daily Board of the\nNational Sharia Council-Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) KH Muhammad\nCholil Nafis and his board members. Other attendees included leaders and\nrepresentatives of professional and community organisations in the\nsharia economy and finance sector, representatives of associations and\nSelf Regulatory Organisations (SRO) in the sharia financial services\nsector, academics, women leaders, and influencers or Key Opinion Leaders\n(KOL) who are external members. Representatives from sharia compartment\nwork units also attended as internal members of Pokja LIKS. Head of\nOJK\u2019s Financial Literacy and Inclusion Department and Main Coordinator\nof Pokja LIKS, M Ismail Riyadi, stated that Pokja LIKS has played an\nactive role in formulating educational and inclusion programmes for\nsharia finance to make them more adaptive to community needs and to\ndrive the economy. \u201cThrough recommendations, evaluations, and inputs\nsubmitted periodically, Pokja LIKS provides substantive and strategic\nperspectives in refining work programmes, formulating new initiatives,\nand strengthening the policy direction of sharia financial literacy and\ninclusion to be more adaptive to community needs and industry\ndevelopments,\u201d Ismail said. He noted that the implementation of sharia\nfinancial literacy and inclusion programmes still needs further\ndevelopment, particularly in expanding reach, ensuring programme\nsustainability, and converting understanding into the use of sharia\nfinancial products. OJK has carried out various LIKS activities to\npromote sharia financial literacy, including the Indonesia Sharia\nFinancial Olympiad (ISFO), the Sharia Financial Ramadan Movement (GERAK\nSyariah), the Sharia Financial Literacy Savvy Mothers Programme\n(SICANTIKS), the Sharia Financial Literacy Savvy Santri Programme\n(SAKINAH), and the School of Syariah (SOS). OJK also encourages sharia\nfinancial business matching through the Sharia Financial Education and\nBusiness Forum (FEBIS) and the Sharia Financial Inclusion Centre\nEcosystem (EPIKS). In addition, to encourage the use of financial\nproducts and services, OJK organises the Sharia Financial Fair (SYAFIF)\nand the Sharia Financial Expo and Seminar (EKSIS). \u201cOJK continues to\nencourage synergy and collaboration among all parties in efforts to\nimprove sharia financial literacy and inclusion to realise increased\npublic financial well-being,\u201d Ismail said.<\/p>",
