Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia’s House of Representatives Speaker Puan Maharani has expressed hope that the candidates for the Financial Services Authority (OJK) board of commissioners for 2026–2031, who have been approved in the House plenary session, will fulfil their mandate with full integrity.

“The House leadership extends congratulations to the candidates for OJK board of commissioners, hoping they will carry out their duties with full integrity, responsibility, and remain faithful to their mandate,” said Puan at the parliament complex in Senayan, Jakarta, on Thursday.

In the plenary session, the House of Representatives approved five names for the OJK board of commissioners for 2026–2031: Friderica Widyasari Dewi, Hernawan Bekti Sasongko, Hasan Fawzi, Dicky Kartikoyono, and Adi Budiarso.

Puan also expressed hope that the five elected commissioners would be able to carry out the OJK’s tasks and functions strictly, in accordance with Law Number 4 of 2023 on the Development and Strengthening of the Financial Sector.

“The main emphasis is placed on strengthening financial sector supervision, consumer protection, and adaptation to fintech innovation and cryptocurrency,” she said in a written statement.

House Commission XI Chair Mukhamad Misbakhun reported that Friderica Widyasari Dewi was elected as OJK Board of Commissioners Chair and Hernawan Bekti Sasongko as vice chair.

Hasan Fawzi was elected as Executive Head of Capital Markets, Financial Derivatives, and Carbon Exchange Supervision; Dicky Kartikoyono as Executive Head of Financial Services Business Conduct, Education, and Consumer Protection Supervision; and Adi Budiarso as Executive Head of Financial Sector Technology Innovation, Digital Financial Assets, and Cryptocurrency Supervision.

Misbakhun said these names were approved by consensus in an internal Commission XI meeting.

“Our hope is that these commissioners, chair, vice chair, and board members of the OJK will be able to rebuild public trust in the OJK, in the Indonesian capital market, and in the Indonesian financial services industry so that it becomes a more credible institution, trusted by society, and becomes part of Indonesia’s future development process that contributes to the nation and country,” said Misbakhun.

The elected commissioners previously passed the fit and proper test conducted by Commission XI on Wednesday (11 March).
