IN its inception, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) was established with a clear and unequivocal mandate: to serve as an independent guardian of the financial services sector, free from interference by any party. OJK was created to ensure that activities within the financial sector are conducted in an orderly, fair, transparent, and accountable manner, while at the same time safeguarding the interests of consumers and the public.
Article 4 of Law Number 21 of 2011 concerning OJK affirms that this institution operates independently in carrying out its functions, duties, and authorities. This mandate was further reinforced by the Law on Financial Sector Development and Strengthening (P2SK Law), which reasserts and strengthens OJK’s status as an independent state institution.
