OJK strengthens research and sustainable finance roadmaps

The Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK) is intensifying its focus on evidence-based research and sustainable finance to bolster national economic growth. During the 4th OJK International Research Forum in Jakarta, OJK Chairperson Friderica Widyasari Dewi emphasized that research must translate into concrete policy and action to develop a productive, inclusive, and resilient financial ecosystem.

Key strategic priorities include deepening financial markets, digital innovation, and expanding financing sources for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The forum highlighted the need for the capital market and non-banking sectors to contribute more significantly to the economy beyond traditional banking.

Additionally, OJK has launched the Sustainable Finance Development Roadmap for the Insurance, Guarantee, and Pension Fund (PPDP) sector for 2026–2030. This roadmap aims to enhance the industry's resilience against climate change and global economic dynamics. Ogi Prastomiyono, OJK Executive Head of PPDP Supervision, noted that the sector plays a dual role in the green transition by both financing the transition and protecting the process through risk absorption and institutional investment.
