Financial Literacy Key to Economic Resilience, KVB Futures Intensifies Education
JAKARTA – Improving financial literacy is considered an important factor in strengthening the economic welfare of the public while boosting the quality of investment in Indonesia. Amidst growing public interest in investing, the need for accurate, easy-to-understand, and educational market information is increasing.
KVB Futures continues to promote financial literacy and public understanding of the derivatives market through various educational programmes. This step is taken to help the public understand investment opportunities and risks so they can make financial decisions more wisely and measurably.
The urgency of financial education remains a challenge in Indonesia. Based on the results of the 2025 National Survey of Financial Literacy and Inclusion (SNLIK) released by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the national financial literacy index was recorded at 66.46 percent, while the financial inclusion index has reached 80.51 percent.
This data indicates that public access to financial services is growing faster than the level of understanding of the products and services being used.
‘Industry players still have a great opportunity to improve public understanding of how various financial and investment products work, their benefits, and their risks,’ said KVB Futures President Director Tonny Fong on Tuesday (16/6/2026).
Tonny stated that financial literacy has a strategic role in improving the public’s financial well-being. Individuals who understand financial management and investment tend to be better prepared to face economic turmoil and are more capable of planning long-term finances.
According to the OECD/INFE 2023 International Survey of Adult Financial Literacy, people with adequate financial literacy levels have an average financial well-being score about 10 points higher than those who have not reached the minimum standard.
‘From that study, we realise that financial literacy is closely related to better financial resilience, including readiness to face economic shocks and manage long-term finances,’ said Tonny.
As part of efforts to expand financial education, KVB Futures conducted a media visit to Bloomberg Technoz to explore collaboration in developing educational content and disseminating more relevant market information. Collaboration between industry players and the media is considered to have a strategic role in broadening public access to quality financial information and supporting the improvement of national economic literacy.
