BPKH states Hajj funds under management exceed Rp180.72 trillion

Medan (ANTARA) - The Hajj Financial Management Agency (BPKH) states that the amount of Hajj funds managed by the agency as of today reaches more than Rp180.72 trillion.

“The Hajj funds we manage currently amount to around Rp180 trillion or more, an increase from Rp98 trillion in 2018,” said a member of the BPKH Executive Board, Acep Riana Jayaprawira, after the Grand Hajj Ritual Simulation for 1447 H/2026 CE by Bank Sumut at the Medan Hajj Dormitory Hall, North Sumatra, on Thursday.

Acep continued that the Hajj funds are not only stored but also developed productively through investments in accordance with Sharia principles, safely and prudently to provide added value and optimal benefits in line with the increasing number of Indonesian Muslims performing the fifth pillar of Islam.

Acep emphasised that BPKH is committed to managing Hajj funds professionally, transparently, safely, and in accordance with Sharia principles.

“Alhamdulillah, as a form of good governance, BPKH has received an Unqualified Opinion or WTP from the Financial Audit Board seven times since its establishment in 2017,” he stated.

According to him, this achievement shows that Hajj financial management in Indonesia is conducted transparently, accountably, and in accordance with established standards.

“This certainly serves as proof that the trust entrusted by the ummah is managed to the best of our ability,” said Acep.

A member of the House of Representatives’ Commission VIII, Dini Rahmania, has urged the members of the Supervisory Board (Dewas) of the Hajj Financial Management Agency (BPKH) to be proactive in efforts to develop Hajj fund investments.

According to her, as supervisors of the ummah’s funds, the Dewas BPKH should not only wait for proposals from the Executive Board but also actively submit suggestions and provide clear targets for investment instruments.

“The Dewas should be more proactive in providing guidance, rather than just waiting for those proposals to come in,” said Dini during a working meeting of the House of Representatives’ Commission VIII with the Dewas BPKH at the Parliamentary Complex in Jakarta on Wednesday (4/2).
