Indonesia Introduces Youth Initiatives on AI‑Driven Finance Skills and Mental‑Health Support

Indo Premier Sekuritas (IPOT) announced a financial‑literacy drive aimed at Indonesia’s young generation, emphasizing the need for AI competence and stronger money‑management mindsets. CEO Moleonoto said, “Transformasi ekonomi nasional tidak dimulai dari saham atau trading, melainkan dari cara berpikir (mindset).” The program, called Cerdas Finansial Bersama IPOT, seeks to teach youth that AI is a basic skill for handling and protecting future finances.

Meanwhile, PT Permodalan Nasional Madani (PNM) partnered with the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection to hold a family‑empowerment event in Bajawa, East Nusa Tenggara, focusing on child mental‑health. Director‑General Kindaris explained, “Melalui kegiatan ini, kami ingin menghadirkan ruang belajar bersama bagi keluarga agar semakin memahami pentingnya kesehatan mental anak.” The initiative provides free health checks, parenting education, and support for local women's micro‑enterprises, linking economic empowerment with improved child wellbeing.
