        "summary": "The Financial Services Authority (OJK) is expanding its PINTAR programme to introduce more Indonesians, including students and workers, to planned, regular investment through mutual funds. The initiative comes amid low capital-market literacy and inclusion rates, despite a sharp rise in the number of investors, and the OJK says greater participation must be matched by an understanding of product risks.",
