JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Five officials of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) Board of Commissioners took their oaths before the Supreme Court today, Wednesday (25/3/2026). OJK Board of Commissioners Chair Friderica Widyasari Dewi acknowledged that the challenges facing OJK ahead are not easy. “We have been given a very significant mandate in the current difficult situation,” she said during a press conference on the Oath-Taking of OJK Board of Commissioners Members, Wednesday (25/3/2026). “Our target is to safeguard Indonesia’s financial system,” she added. The woman, affectionately known as Kiki, revealed that OJK also hopes to restore public trust, particularly from the capital markets perspective. Following this, the OJK board of commissioners will hold a meeting to optimise the financial sector’s contribution to national economic growth. Overall, OJK will implement priority programmes, namely integrated supervision and integrated licensing. Kiki stated that OJK will also deepen the financial sector markets. She explained that to fully contribute to the national economy, the financial sector cannot rely solely on banking but also on other sectors. All these plans are expected to be carried out without sacrificing consumer and public protection aspects. They will also resolve existing cases in the financial sector. “We will also carry out synergies and collaborations for a better Indonesian economy ahead,” she concluded.
