The Financial Services Authority (OJK) has reaffirmed its strong support for six economic stimulus measures initiated by the government to spur national economic growth. Chairman of the OJK Board of Commissioners, Mahendra Siregar, emphasized OJK’s commitment to enhancing the role of financial institutions, especially in improving financing access for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). These stimulus packages include discounted airfare, toll and electricity rates, additional social assistance, wage subsidies, and contributions for workplace accident insurance. These initiatives aim to boost household spending and purchasing power.
Mahendra also noted that OJK is finalizing MSME financing regulations, developed in collaboration with the parliament. Regional offices across 37 provinces are being encouraged to tap into local commodity and industry potentials. Additionally, OJK is deepening the financial market to broaden access and promote public investment. Upcoming initiatives include the launch of a gold ETF product and the establishment of new investment distribution channels. These steps are expected to make investing more accessible, foster a more inclusive financial sector, and contribute to stronger national economic growth. The short-term fiscal strategies planned for June–July 2025 are expected to stabilize domestic consumption and support second-quarter growth to reach around five percent.
