Adies added that for the names of the candidates for Deputy Governor of BI proposed by President Prabowo, he had not seen it.
"It hasn't reached me (the names), it hasn't reached me yet, I haven't tried it yet, I haven't seen it yet, I'll see it later. If there is, I will leak it later," he told the media crew.
He added that the schedule for the fit and proper test for the proposed candidates will be carried out after the DPR RI recess is complete, namely on June 24, 2025.
"I haven't seen the letter yet. But this is a recess, which means the schedule for the next session. Yes, we will enter it 24 June if I'm not mistaken. We'll see," he said.
In accordance with applicable regulations, the two presidential decrees will be followed up by Commission XI of the DPR RI, which is a partner of Bank Indonesia and LPS.
Meanwhile, Commission XI will carry out a fit and proper test of the proposed candidates, before giving considerations to the President and the name will be announced after Commission XI schedules a feasibility test process.
This submission was made in line with the end of the term of office of a number of high-ranking officials in state financial institutions, including Deputy Governor of BI Doni P. Joewono, whose term ends this year.
