Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo received the 2023 Best Governor (Best Governor) award in creating Good Corporate Governance (GCG) and making innovations for Regional Development Bank or BPD from The Asian Post.

The award was received by Ganjar, at the Infobank Top BUMD 2023 'Regional Head Visi on BUMD as a Professional Regional Development Agent' at the Ambarukmo Hotel, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY).

"I express my gratitude, of course, this is the result of the hard work of my friends, how GCG can be done, how innovation and creation can be done so that BPD will be more beneficial for the people," said Ganjar after the event, Thursday, May 11.

The Central Java Provincial Government is considered to have its own steps in keeping BUMD away from political interventions and bureaucratic interests.

Since 2013, the Governor of Central Java for two periods has also implemented Good Corporate Governance (GCG) by implementing a number of regulations.

GCG implementation from the Central Java Provincial Government by issuing regulations, namely Law 40 of 2007 concerning PT, PP 54 of 2017 concerning BUMD, Law 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, POJK 4/POJK.03/2015 and POJK 55/ POJK.03/2016.

"BPD will not be agile if it is tied up later. Who is tied up, the shareholder. If the shareholder is binding, it must be like this, so that technically intervenes too much, then he will not progress," explained Ganjar.

Meanwhile, to position BPD to avoid bureaucratic interests, Ganjar mapped management and financial organizations, management guidance, asset utilization development, business development and administrative evaluation.

To his staff, Ganjar has also implemented GCG with the principles of justice, independence, accountability, accountability and transparency.

For this commitment, Ganjar is considered worthy of receiving the Best Governor's award in 2023.

"My ten-year experience accompanying friends who manage it, which is outside the policy is not allowed. So things that are disturbing in nature, we intervene ourselves. So that way GCG can run," said Ganjar.
