JAKARTA - Financial Consultant and Planner Elvi Diana considers the new Board of Commissioners (ADK) members to be a breath of fresh air for the Financial Services Authority (OJK).

His attention is mainly directed at Deputy Minister of Finance Juda Agung and Deputy Governor of Bank Indonesia Thomas Djiwandono, who is now trusted to become the OJK ADK ex-officio.

Elvi said that Juda Agung and Thomas Djiwandono's background and experience were important capital in strengthening the function and role of the OJK in the future.

"OJK needs a figure who has a deep understanding of the financial system, both in terms of fiscal and monetary. With the experience possessed by Juda Agung and Thomas Djiwandono, I hope that OJK's performance can be more optimal," said Elvi, in his statement, quoted by Antara, Friday, March 27.

Elvi said that OJK is an independent state institution formed based on Law Number 21 of 2011 with a mandate to regulate, supervise, inspect, and investigate all activities in the financial services sector.

Therefore, he considered it important for all ADK, including those from the ex-officio element, to continue to uphold professionalism and integrity in carrying out their duties.

"Reviewing the background, I hope that the two of them are able to encourage the improvement of the quality of supervision and stability of the financial services sector. This is certainly a common hope for industry players and the community," he added.

Elvi also emphasized that the synergy between the OJK, the Ministry of Finance, and Bank Indonesia must continue to be strengthened to face various economic challenges, both at the national and global levels.

With this new composition, Elvi hopes that OJK will be able to be more adaptive, responsive, and credible in carrying out its role as a supervisor of the financial services sector in Indonesia.
