The House of Representatives (DPR) Plenary Session officially passed the Bill concerning the Amendment to Law Number 4 of 2023 on the Development and Strengthening of the Financial Sector (P2SK) on Thursday, 3 June 2026.

The Chairman of the P2SK Bill Working Committee and Vice Chairman of Commission XI, Mohammad Hekal, detailed 1lar 15 key points within the amendment, which include improvements, adjustments, and new regulations. Beyond focusing on the institutional restructuring of the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the amendments are designed to respond to existing societal issues. The revised P2SK Law is expected to serve as a comprehensive step in strengthening and harmonising the financial sector’s regulatory framework, while enhancing synergy and coordination between institutions to maintain national financial stability.

‘It is hoped that this P2SK Amendment Bill can support the development of depth and stability within the national financial system and increase public confidence in the financial sector,’ he stated at the DPR RI building in Jakarta.

The 15 key points are as follows:
