T
he Financial Services Authority (OJK) has announced replacements for four of its high-ranking officials who stepped down on Friday, while the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) is also set to appoint a new interim director ahead of a meeting with global stock market index compiler Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) scheduled for Monday.
The OJK named Friderica Widyasari Dewi acting chairwoman of the institution, replacing former chairman Mahendra Siregar and deputy chairman Mirza Adityaswara, both of whom resigned Friday.
Friderica currently serves as the OJK's chief executive for the supervision of financial business, education and consumer protection.
Additionally, the OJK’s executive head for financial technology innovation and digital asset supervision, Hasan Fawzi, is set to take on leadership roles formerly held by Inarno Djajadi, who supervised capital markets, financial derivatives and carbon exchange, and I.B. Aditya Jayaantara, who supervised issuers, securities transactions and capital market investment.
“We are ensuring that all programs, policies, duties and OJK regulations are implemented properly, and we continue to prioritize the best interests of progress and stability in the financial services sector,” Friderica said in a press conference on Saturday.
While an official announcement has yet to be made on the appointment of a replacement for Iman Rachman, who stepped down as IDX president on Friday, Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa confirmed to reporters following the press conference that IDX director of business development Jeffrey Hendrik was expected to assume the role.
