The Financial Services Authority (OJK) is holding two financial education activities simultaneously in the South Sumatra region as part of a massive effort to encourage increased national financial literacy and inclusion.
Chief Executive of the Financial Services Business Actors' Behavior Supervisory Agency, Education and Consumer Protection of the OJK, Friderica Widyasari Dewi, highlighted the importance of synergy between financial literacy and access to financial services products in realizing public welfare, as conveyed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
"We want all 'Ayuk dan Kakak' in South Sumatra to become Young Sultans, successful young entrepreneurs who are able to penetrate the national market and even export. We must utilize this resilient financial services sector to support new economic growth in the region," said Friderica through an official statement received in Jakarta, Friday.
Through the first financial education activity, namely "Sumsel GENCARKAN & Youngpreneur Summit 2025", OJK encourages the active participation of the younger generation to understand and manage finances well in supporting MSMEs and regional economic growth.
Head of the OJK of South Sumatra Province, Arifin Susanto, emphasized that the “Sumsel GENCARKAN” and “ Youngpreneur Summit 2025” programs are potential momentum for young people to continue working to empower the uniqueness of South Sumatra in the MSME sector.
