Various organizations in Indonesia have launched initiatives to improve financial literacy and economic empowerment. 

Astra Financial and the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK) inaugurated 1,000 ‘Duta OJK Peduli’ (OJK Care Ambassadors) to address the gap between the country’s 93% financial inclusion rate and its 69.57% literacy rate. This program involves training employees, students, and village activists to promote healthy financial management.

Other efforts include Allianz Indonesia’s Ecopower program, which focuses on teaching financial literacy and entrepreneurship to youth and individuals with disabilities. Additionally, PT TASPEN (Persero) partnered with the University of North Sumatra through the ‘TASPEN Goes to Campus’ event to encourage students to practice effective financial management for long-term retirement readiness.
