Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) ran an “OJK Mengajar” session at Syiah Kuala University in Banda Aceh, urging students to act as financial literacy ambassadors and support the development of Indonesia’s financial services sector, including the capital market, through informed participation in sharia-compliant investing. In remarks by Executive Head of Capital Market, Derivatives Finance and Carbon Exchange Supervision Inarno Djajadi, students were cautioned against fear of missing out (FOMO) investing and encouraged to understand the instruments they use, invest in line with their risk profile and capacity, and avoid using debt-funded money. The session highlighted sharia market infrastructure including the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council’s (DSN-MUI) legitimacy for shares and the use of the Sharia Online Trading System (SOTS) to support sharia-compliant transactions, alongside the “2L” principle of investing only in offerings that are legal and logically credible. The event, organised with Self-Regulatory Organizations (SRO), drew around 1,500 students and also included the launch of a programme for 3,000 Langsa city civil servants to invest in the capital market.
