In September 2026, Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) expanded literacy efforts via ‘2026 Pension Fund Month’ to address a 22.21% literacy gap. Recent 2026 National Survey of Financial Literacy and Inclusion (SNLIK) data shows a national literacy index of 66.64% and an inclusion index of 92.74%. OJK is intensifying regional outreach, such as the ‘GENCARKAN’ movement and inclusive programs for coastal communities. To strengthen the banking sector, OJK launched the 2026–2030 Indonesian Banking Development and Strengthening Roadmap (RP3I), focusing on institutional integrity, digital resilience, and sustainable finance. Regulatory enforcement has intensified to bolster capital market integrity. Through late October 2026, OJK issued trillions of rupiah in administrative sanctions against dozens of issuers, securities firms, and individuals for violations involving stock trading, IPOs, and unauthorized investment advisory practices. Notable penalties include Rp1.5 trillion against PT Sinar Mas Tunggal, Rp1.4 billion against PT Sinarmas Sekuritas, Rp500 billion against Anbo Holdings Ltd, and Rp100 billion against Tigonis Capital Pte. Ltd. During the 4th OJK International Research Forum in late October 2026, OJK Chairperson Friderica Widyasari Dewi emphasized that research must translate into concrete policy to develop a resilient financial ecosystem. This included the launch of the Sustainable Finance Development Roadmap for the Insurance, Guarantee, and Pension Fund sector for 2026–2030, aimed at enhancing climate change resilience. In early November 2026, OJK expanded strategic frameworks by launching the Blueprint for the Development and Strengthening of Islamic Finance in Makassar. On November 5, OJK Deputy Chairman Hernawan B. Sasongko encouraged students at Hasanuddin University to act as agents of financial literacy. Concurrently, Deputy Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Dradjad Hari Wibowo emphasized the need for capital market reforms to increase transparency and prevent stock manipulation. On November 7, OJK sanctioned seven companies for capital market violations, including a Rp2.7 billion fine against PT Asri Karya Lestari Tbk for unreliable asset information and reporting discrepancies. Additionally, OJK moved investigations into four entities suspected of operating as unlicensed insurance brokers into a formal stage, while examining 15 other entities for similar suspected practices.
