JAKARTA PT Bank Muamalat Indonesia through the Muamalat Institute is collaborating with the National Committee for Sharia Economics and Finance (KNEKS) regarding literacy development programs and improving the competence of human resources in the Islamic financial sector.

Bank Muamalat Chief Human Capital Officer Riksa Prakoso said that the goal of expanding the understanding of Islamic financial and economic literacy requires collaboration from various parties, starting from business actors, regulators and other stakeholders so that positive impacts can continue to be felt by the community.

"Bank Muamalat has a vision to become a leading Islamic bank with the support of competent human resources," he said in a written statement quoted on Wednesday, November 2.

According to Riksa, his party remains committed to supporting the government in its efforts to advance the national economy.

"This is important in order to realize Indonesia's Golden Generation in 2045. This program also coincides with the 2022 Financial Inclusion Month (BIK) and in the momentum of celebrating the Youth Pledge," he said.

On the same occasion, Muamalat Institute Executive Director Anton Hendrianto revealed that the launch of this joint literacy program includes three programs, namely the Virtual International Program, the Muamalat Institute Business Innovation Incubator program.

We have a high enough concern to foster an entrepreneurial spirit and create business ideas into products from the younger generation. This aims to increase the competence and insight of students because they are accompanied by professional mentors and have experience in the world of startups," said Anton.

Meanwhile, the third program is digital-based learning through Learning Management System (LMS) for teachers in Indonesia.

In this LMS, teachers can access various modules related to Islamic finance such as Islamic banking, and halal industries from various clusters such as food and beverages, recreation, pharmaceuticals, and others," he added.

Meanwhile, the Director of the Sharia Ecosystem Infrastructure of the KNEKS Sutan Emir Hidayat in collaboration related to Islamic economics and finance like this can be carried out on an ongoing basis and carried out massively by all parties.

Of course, competent human resources are a supporter of Islamic economic and financial development as well as the halal industry. This accelerates the strengthening and integration of inter-sectors so that the economic and financial ecosystem of sharia can be stronger," he said.
