OJK promotes financial inclusion through 2026 programs in Papua and Central Sulawesi

The Financial Services Authority (OJK) is conducting Financial Inclusion Month (BIK) 2026 activities across several Indonesian provinces to increase public access to financial products and services.

In Papua, OJK has engaged 23 financial service industries, including banking, capital markets, and non-bank financial sectors. The initiative in Jayapura aims to educate various age groups—from children to adults—on diverse financial instruments to help them make informed choices and avoid illegal investment schemes.

In Central Sulawesi, the BIK 2026 program focused on expanding access and encouraging a culture of saving among students. According to OJK Central Sulawesi, the initiative is part of a sustained effort to meet national targets. Recent survey data shows a national financial literacy index of 69.57 percent and an inclusion index of 93.61 percent, while Central Sulawesi reports a literacy index of 60.07 percent and an inclusion index of 88.65 percent.
