JAKARTA – The author remembers well when five years ago the Chairman of the OJK Board of Commissioners for the period 2017-2022 Wimboh Santoso spoke about the efficiency plan that would be carried out within the organization. Wimboh said, he would make financial planning of Rp. 100 billion to Rp. 200 billion more effective than before.

In his promise, the former Head of Representative for Bank Indonesia (BI) in New York chose not to use Mercedes-Benz branded official cars as a tactic to suppress the budget. Not only that, Wimboh also talked about more selective official travel, choosing economy flight tickets, and determining the number of groups that are not too large.

"Bu Nurhaida (Vice Chairman of OJK) with her experience is expected to be able to understand internal problems so that they can improve efficiency properly," said Wimboh on Thursday, July 20 2017.

So what about Mahendra Siregar as Chairman of the OJK Board of Commissioners for the 2022-2027 period?

From information gathered by VOI from internal sources in the authorities, it is known that the first Mahendra Cs press conference will be held this afternoon. The agenda was prepared after the oath of office was taken in the morning at the MA Building. It was continued later in the day the internal OJK leadership transition event.

"The press conference will be held virtually in the afternoon," said the editorial source, Wednesday, July 20, 2022.

The latest news is that OJK Chairman Mahendra Siregar is currently exposed to COVID-19, so it is very likely that the press conference agenda will be held separately, as in the inauguration of positions this morning.

So, what program will be pushed by the management of the Financial Services Authority Volume III? The answer will be in the evening.
