s many as 30 candidates have made it to the next stage in the government’s search for the Financial Service Authority’s (OJK) new board of commissioners.

Their names were announced by the selection committee at the Finance Ministry on Monday evening.

Only five participants failed the third stage, which consisted of managerial assessment and medical checkups. 

They are Allianz Indonesia independent commissioner Ahmad Junaedy Ganie, University of Indonesia lecturer Dewi Hanggaraeni, Hasanuddin University lecturer Marsuki, Astra Satu president director Suheri and Susandarini, who is a partner at law firm Susandarini and Partners.

OJK commissioner for capital market supervision Nurhaida, deputy commissioner for bank supervision Mulya E Siregar and Bank Indonesia spokesman Tirta Segara all passed the third stage.

Bank Mandiri president president commissioner Wimboh Santoso, Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) executive chairman Fauzi Ichsan and Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) director Samsul Hidayat also managed to make it to the next round.

"The selection committee dug into [the candidates'] abilities to face pressure, make decisions, lead and enforce the organization's values along with assessing their knowledge and experience," committee member Darmin Nasution, who is Coordinating Economic Minister, told a press briefing.

Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati, who heads the committee, joined the briefing via teleconference as she is currently in the United States.

The fourth stage is scheduled to run from March 9 to 11 and will see the candidates undergo an interview with the committee members.

The committee will then choose 21 candidates to be proposed to the president by March 13. (tas)
