Meanwhile, the President Director of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Anggoro Eko Cahyo explained that in the midst of uncertain global economic conditions, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan actually succeeded in encouraging the number of participations in the informal or Non-Wage Recipient sector (BPU) to grow by 69.04 percent from the previous period, to 6 million participants.

This figure is the largest growth in the last 9 years. This achievement certainly cannot be separated from the BPJS Employment strategy which focuses on developing an agency system and collaborating with local governments and companies to protect vulnerable workers.

Anggoro said that during 2022 the Social Security Fund (DJS) grew very well, namely with assets increasing by 14 percent compared to the previous year. This can be achieved even though claim payments also increased by 15 percent.

Anggoro said that DJS was able to continue to grow positively thanks to the funds and investment proceeds from DJS, which increased by 14 percent YoY, respectively.

"We want to convey that in 2022 we will not only grow performance according to the target but also have national and global achievements solely to improve quality for the protection of Indonesian workers," said Anggoro.

The next achievement is in terms of benefits to participants, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan has paid claims or guarantees of Rp49.03 trillion to 3.94 million participants who are still dominated by Old Age Security (JHT) claims.

On the other hand, with a total of 35.86 million active participants and 735 thousand active employers, the total contribution of the contributions given reached Rp88.31 trillion, it can be said that BPJS Ketenagakerjaan is able to pay claims throughout 2022 only with the contributions received.

Anggoro detailed that net assets of the Work Accident Insurance (JKK) program can include claim burdens for the next 254 months, while Death Security (JKM) can last for the next 48 months and the latest program assets, namely Job Loss Guarantee (JKP) is sufficient for the next 2,807 months.

"The measure of this level of health is in accordance with PP 99 of 2013 that at least the estimated payment of claims is one month ahead, so JKK, JKM and JKP are categorized as very healthy," added Anggoro.

Meanwhile, the JHT fund solvency rate is in the healthy category at 99.74 percent and Pension Security is above 100 percent. Thus it can be concluded that the DJS managed by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan is in a very healthy condition.

To achieve the target of 70 million active participants in 2026, Anggoro revealed that BPJS Ketenagakerjaan will focus on increasing participation in the informal worker sector as well as small and micro-scale businesses through retention, intensification and extensification strategies. This strategy is focused on the village, market, e-commerce and SME ecosystems as well as vulnerable workers.

"All of these achievements certainly cannot be separated from the support of stakeholders. We would like to thank you for the excellent collaboration during 2022. We hope that this spirit can continue to be maintained together so that all Indonesian workers can work hard and be anxious because they have been protected by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan," concluded Anggoro.
